Hello,
This week we are doing some tests with microsoft regarding Backup & Restore of Microsoft Clustered environment.
I installed netbackup 7.6.0.1 Client on the servers (with windows cluster 2008)
And we see that during the backup the CLUSDB file is being skipped.
HHere is output from Diskshadow Exclude list: technote : http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH76997
WRITER "Cluster Database"
- Writer ID = {41e12264-35d8-479b-8e5c-9b23d1dad37e}

Info From bpbkar While doing a backup:
10:46:14 BKR - C:\Windows\Cluster\
10:46:14 INF - Filtered 'BEDS Exclude' Object: C:\Windows\Cluster\CLUSDB <- you can see the file was excluded when excplictly telling netbackup do d C: \ SystemStaete' \ Shadowcopycomponent backup.
Question is :
Why its in the Exclude list of the cluster vss, How should I do a GOOD backup of microsoft cluster if netbackup dosent do a backup of this file.
BTW: ntbackup of microsoft is able to backup clusdb file.
