SSR 2011 with Hyper-V and Cluster

Hi all,

I am running two Windows 2008 R2 Servers running Hyper-V and hosting varous VMs.

SSR 2011 is used to backup the hosts with a full VSS backup und generally everything works fine.

Lately I built a Exchange 2010-Cluster between two VMs and the VSS backup ocasionally initiates a failover within the cluster. The reason is clear - the VMs are saved to take the snapshot of the harddisks.

However - I do not want to have failovers or error messages within the cluster logs due to the backup of the VMs harddisks.

Does anybody has an idea how I can configure SSR top work with a Exchange clusters within VMs?

Thanks

stefan

You have installed SSR 2011 on each node of the server cluster and are backing up each node?
