How to backup Oracle Databases running on Solaris Cluster

[blanco_adalbert]

We have setup backups jobs for backing up Oracle Databases running into a single server. But now We have to run backups from a cluster where two servers are running databases and if a server fails the databases running on that server are going to move to the second server into the cluster. So, how can we setup the scripts or what do we need to do to continuos backing up those tatabases no matter the server that is running those tatabases.

Any Idea can help us.

Best regards
