<div dir="ltr">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. <div><br></div><div>Nathan</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 1:02 AM, Ryan Huff <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ryanhuff@outlook.com" target="_blank">ryanhuff@outlook.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div>While it is more than NOT supported; I have had success with cloning ucos vm's (while powered off). Then powering on the clones with the parents turned off. Again, clearly not supported but I have not noticed any behavior differences.</div>

<div>For kick's and curiosity's sake I have vmotioned a lab cluster (with sip pstn) before while powered on ... caused cpu spikes and the trunks had to be reset.</div>

<div>However, in practice I'd not wonder outside the bounds of the DocWiki for backup purposes.</div>
