Backing up Cluster Resources from another Server
Hi All, We are just moving to Backup Exec 12.5. We have a 2 node Server 2003 Cluster hosting SQL server 2000. Previously we backed up our Storage Array files (SQL Backups & Documents) using NTBackup, connecting to the Storage array from the backup server via mapped drives. Backup Exec can't see the mappings so i am assuming mapped drives aren't supported. Backup Exec is only installed on our backup server, we have licenses for Remote Agents though. Is it possible to install the remote agents on the 2 cluster node servers so that we can access the shared storage from the Backup Exec Instance on the Backup Server? The manual talks about installing Backup Exec on the actual Cluster Nodes, I don't want to do this as we have a backup server already with Backup Exec Installed on. I don't want to backup the SQL databases, only the backups that are stored on there and the Document Folders. Also, if we need to buy an additional addon for Cluster support, can this just be added to the Backup Server or does a copy of Backup Exec have to be installed on to the actual node(s)? Many ThanksSolved752Views0likes2Comments
