I have an old server 2003 cluster which i need to backup a clustered drive. For some reason the backups are running but dying during the night, and the only thing i can think of is when i look resources, that the drive is mounted to say lets say server 2, and the clustered IP is on server 1.
When i look at the disk on the 3par, i can see all the read hits on server 1, so i'm wondering if its trying to read the data through server to a disk mounted on server 2.
So i thought as a test i would create a backup to just backup up this drive through server 2, but when i look at DP all i can see is C: and configuration, i have logged on the server and i can see the drive X: but i guess because DP sees it in the cluster backup i can't just select as a drive on server itself.
Anyway of being able to backup up directly through server 2 without using the cluster name? that way forcing the backup through server 2.
