 Anyone running Veritas Netbackup ( we are currently running v3.2) and have
the backup agent installed on a TruCluster 5.1 system?

 Is this supported?

 I am new to TruCluster, so I was thinking that the options might be;

 1) Install the agent on one node and have it back up everything, just like
a plain old Tru64 system. Maybe even configure it as a caa application so
that the agent would fail over to another member if we lost the member it
was installed on?

 2) Load the agent on each individual member and have each instance backup
1/2 of the data farm. This would shrink my backup window. If I lost a member
for any length of time, I would have to reconfigure netbackup to have the
remaining node backup everything.

 If anyone has played with this and has some input, I would sure like to
hear about it.
