Clustered Microsoft Windows Computer Failover Cluster

[ironclad86]

I have several servers showing in the servers list of Backup Exec 2012 that are Microsoft Clustered Services/Applications

Like I have been backing up the indivudal nodes

SQL1A - Resources: C drive, utility parition, shadow copy

SQL1B - Resources: C drive, utility parition, shadow copy

But It always list servers by the name of:

SQL1C - Resources: ?\Volume{c1c0805b---------} with the folders Cluster and System Volume Information   with it being only 16 MB
SQL1FTP 
SQL1WEB

How should I back up these non physical computers and if anything would to happen (I'm not sure exactly what), how would I restore them? These are non virtual machines, this is just Failover Cluster

First you need to install RAWS on all the physical nodes of the cluster. Once this is installed, the Virtual Names will start appearing in the Backup/Restore Tab in Backup Exec 2012.

Now, you need to backup 2 things mainly -

1. Clustered data, which would show up under the Virtual Name/s

2. For DR perspective, backup Local resources (C drive, System State and Shadoes Copy) from the physical nodes.
