hi,
I am using Server 2012 R2 on the host, and my guest cluster. I have a shared VHDX, and in the guest cluster I configure File Server role for general file server (not SOFS), this means the VHDX is owned by only one node at a time and is offline on the other nodes within the cluster. For this example I am using Windows Server Backup, but i can't see how this will work to backup the VHDX file from other nodes. I can only see the disk as being available from the node which owns the file server role and disk, the other nodes don't show the disk as being available for backup unless i move the ownership.
do i configure backup on each node at the time the node has ownership of the disk, and then if it gets moved away from it the backup will simply fail and when it moves back it will succeed, or am i missing some more simpler?
I can't use CSV because that is for SOFS, this is just a general file server role, and apparently backing up from the host level is currently not supported for machines which use shared VHDX files.
thanks
Steve
