Abstract

A method, system, article of manufacture, and apparatus for creating backups of workloads in a clustered environment is discussed. In some embodiments, each node in the environment may sequentially back up its active workloads. The nodes may take data snapshots of a cluster shared volume, and thereafter extract the necessary workload data. The process may be controlled from a master node or an external server.
