[cisco-voip] 3rd Party backup tools

[Nathan Reeves]

We've always had DRS backups in place given thats the officially supported
path for restore.  Do keep some Veeam backups in place but tend to run them
infrequently when we're looking to do work on the cluster and want a quick
fallback position.  I would tend to power down and backup to ensure
consistency as I'm not sure how well informix works with running machine
snapshots on restore.
