Hi Thomas, Sorry, I somehow missed that this was a cluster. Yes, when CLUSTERNODE YES is in effect, the cluster name is used to generate the filespace name. However, it is not derived from the /clustername:xxxx option in the service definition. Instead, the client gets the cluster name via the Win32 API function GetClusterInformation(). The reason you need to specify it when running dsmcutil.exe is because the dsmcutil.exe utility can also be used to configure remote machines. Figuring out the local cluster name is easy, but figuring out the cluster name for a remote machine is a little more difficult. It is possible, but we just have not got to it yet. So for now we are leaving it to the user to specify the cluster name. Just make sure you are using the correct name for the cluster. You should be able to back up cluster resources using the GUI as long as you have CLUSTERNAME YES in the options file, and the machine on which you are running the GUI owns the cluster resources you want to back up. Thus if you are running the GUI on NODE2, but NODE1 owns the resources, then you can not back them up. If you are running the GUI on NODE2 and NODE2 owns the resources, then you should be able to back them up. If not, then I would recommend opening a problem with Service so that we an diagnose the problem. Best regards, Andy Andy Raibeck IBM/Tivoli Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked." Hi Andy, when I backup this drive (t$) by scheduler the filespacename is created using the clustername (derived from the /clustername:xxxx option in the service definition) as \\xxx\t$. As I cannot specify the clustername when I use the GUI I therefore cannot backup cluster drives using the GUI. Is this understanding correct? Or how would you suggest backing up cluster drives via the GUI?
