Backup two VM´s with disk shared.

Post by SerSunal »

My question is the following. I want to backup a Microsoft cluster using an agent that is made up of two virtual machines. These two virtual machines in the cluster have a quorum disk that is shared between the two.
What I want to know is if there is any danger of the cluster breaking when backing up through the agent, since if I did it through vCenter it would fail because snapshots are not allowed.

Hello,

Are you using Failover Cluster with Shared Disk?
You should leverage Failover Cluster Support for managed Windows Agent.

Please see the https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=120
  • Backup of CSV (Cluster Shared Volumes) is not supported. Cluster disks used as CSV are automatically excluded from backup.

Hello,

You can leverage Veeam Backup for NAS to protect the files on the cluster.
Kind Regards,
