Backup file on Windows failover cluster

Question

Hi community,We have recently deployed Netbackup agent on 2 Windows cluster (Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 2016). All works fine but I've noticed that : after failover node, next backup is a full like backup.Policies configuration : Use Accelerator, Enable optimized backup of Windows deduplicated VolumesClient configuration : Use Change JournalUnfortunately, activity history and backup retention to send you more information about error are erased.I suppose that accelerator or change journal are the root cause of this behaviour. Netbackup documentation give information about Master configuration. I haven't see anything about client configuration.What's your opinion ?THanks

I would also be very disappointed in the response from Support.&nbsp;You probably got through to a rookie/ first-line support engineer who did not think it necessary to investigate a bit further or ask senior collegues.
I would rather expect this type of info in&nbsp;NetBackup in Highly Available Environments Administrator's Guidebut unfortunately (disappointingly) very little about&nbsp;NetBackup client in a cluster.
I have found in my 20 years with NetBackup that the manuals cover enough to get you going, and that it is not possible to have documentation for every possible scenario.&nbsp;
This makes this type of forum extremely valuable - even after 20 years, I don't know nearly enough.That is why I'm on this forum every day - I still learn and even ask questions when I cannot find the answers - somewhere out there someone must have the knowledge or real-life experience...&nbsp;
Please do not hesitate to ask if you cannot find the answer in the manuals.

Thanks Marianne. I've just read secondary link. But, why there is no official documentation about this configuration ?

I've contacted Support... and thier only response is to give me Admin Guide for Master configuration on cluster... Case have been closed quickly after.
