Windows 2000 cluster backup problem

I am running NetWorker 7.2.1.Build.314 on a Solaris 10 server. I am trying to backup a Virtual cluster client and all associated physical nodes. The backups are working ok with one big exception. The index of the virtual client shared partition keeps running a "full" and the index is being saved on the physical node. Subsequently, each night the backup is running a full instead of an incremental backup. I have opened a case with EMC, but we are still working it.

The Virtual Node: dbcl
The physical nodes: magicdbcl01 and magicdblc02

Hae a look at the 'save' manpages. You can actually set an option in the backup command to write to a certain CFI. This should do the trick.

Thanks for the tip. I did read the man page for save and also pathignoreowner and have set the backup command attribute for the virtual cluster client "-c dbcl". A probe looks good, so I I'll let you know how things go moving forward.

The index is saving entries for D: and F: (the virtual partitions) to the correct index now. An incremental ran fine last night. I am all set! Thanks!
