Hyper-V clustered shared volumes

[jheather]

I have a two node Hyper-V cluster with several VMs that reside on the CSV drive. Hyper-V backup fails on the node when these VMs are running on that node. Migrate them to the other node, and the backup runs Ok. (version 2.5 with VSS support).

So I can get a backup copy of all the VMs except those that run as HA VMs. Is there a work around, or possibly an enhancement planned?

Thanks,

Jim

There is a new function to call for clusters in 2008 R2:

ClusterPrepareSharedVolumeForBackup

ViceVersa currently does not call that function....

Any progress on this feature request? I too want to use VVPro to backup running VM's in a cluster shared volume. Thanks!
