Shadow Copies on 2012 R2 File Server Cluster

-

hello all!

i've inherited 2 node physical 2012 r2 file server cluster contains few smb shares on single clustered disk.  i'd enable shadow copies shared disk want store shadow copy data on own shared disk per shadow copy best practices (at least on non-clustered file servers).

i created second cluster disk, assigned it to same resources smb clustered disk. 

now historically i've enabled shadow copies through computer management want ensure shadow copies cluster aware in failover cluster manager open storage | disks , right click smb cluster disk , click shadow copies tab. tab can enable shadow copies, sounds i'm looking for, unfortunately not give me option choose disk/volume store shadow copy data, can't right.

my next step connect computer management cluster virtual server name (nocfs4) , through system tools | shared folders | tasks | configure shadow copies it shows me the correct number of shares on smb cluster disk plus can see the settings button configuring location , size limit shadow copies, once i tweak shadow copy location , size settings, click ok , click enable turn on shadow copies long pause , error not being able create schedule. seems connecting cluster virtual object not answer either.

that leaves using computer management connect 1 of physical server nodes of cluster. when open shadow copy interface on physical node note it shows 0 number of shares detects on smb clustered disk. doesn't surprise me since interface isn't cluster resource aware.

so i'm stuck. know "microsoft way" enable shadow copies on clustered disk while storing shadow copy data on second cluster disk both attached same cluster resource?

hi ssdjr,

the shadow storage location csv volume default on same drive, can use scdpm backup cluster csv.

the scdpm backup csv:

configure csv backups
