Is there a way for the backup history of a clustered SQL backup to show up with the cluster name on all nodes? My DBAs are complaining that when they want to do a restore, they have to check both nodes of the cluster to see on which physical node the SQL instance was backed up. It's also a pain to have to restore a backup from one node and then restore logs from another.
The way we do our backup is like this: We use the SQL instance name as the client name in a MSSQL policy. That policy calls a script that looks this:
OPERATION BACKUP
DATABASE $ALL
SQLHOST "something-instance_name"
SQLINSTANCE "instance_name"
NBSERVER "master_name"
MAXTRANSFERSIZE 5
BLOCKSIZE 7
POLICY other_policy
ENDOPER TRUE
nowhere do we use the MS cluster name. Should we? The "other_policy" is the one where all the physical node names are. Are we doing this properly?
Thanks!
