How to backup a SQL 2008 r2 cluster solution in a windows 2008 R2 Cluster


we got w2k8r2, sql2k8r2, 2 nodes, 8 instances, a/a

c:\ = os+bin (local disc)

d:\ = mount point container following mount points: data,log,tempdb,backup instance 01 (4 separate luns on san)

e:\ = mount point container following mount points: data,log,tempdb,backup instance 02 (4 separate luns on san)

etc untill instance 08

m:\ = mstdc (lun on san)

w:\ = witness (lun on san)

z:\ = backup (local disc)

what best backup strategy? product use?

i have backup on internal disk besides external backup solution, although pro's thinks ridiculous.
anyway, means have have backup on both nodes instances, again means double up on storage usage.

hi tonny,

if need backup solutions, recommend ola  hallengren's database maintenance solutions includes database backup/index defrag/integrity check functionalities. utilize in production servers, , works well.

regarding backup strategy, recommend define recovery strategy rather backup strategy. that's because, backup strategies great, when need recover our databases/businesses, sucks. may need know business service-level-agreements (slas), such recovery-point-objective (rpo), , recovery-time-objective (rto), , design recovery/backup strategy accordingly.
