I recently set up a cluster of 2 servers. Both 2008 R2 and run SQL Server 2012. We are running VMware. I was going to apply SP2 to SQL last night and discovered that I couldn't snapshot. I thought, no worries, I'll just take a backup with Veeam...but wait, Veeam snapshots the VM before backing it up. Dang.
The servers have 3 shared disks (RDM.) What are my options for backup? What's best practice?
