Fastback Windows cluster support

Retain changed block mapping after the failover of volumes from one cluster node to the next so that Delta block incrementals are not required. Windows servers are patched and rebooted EVERY month. With a cluster Windows provides a way to eliminate the downtime associated with these reboots. Shared resources and services are failed over to other cluster members. Can changed block data be retained on a shared resource without requiring a rebuild?

    It has been more than 30 days since a request for more information has been requested. Hence, this request will be closed. If you would like us to reconsider, please reopen the request and provide more details regarding the Windows server versions desired for cluster support.

    During our FastBack discussions around this enhancement request, it became clear that a little bit more information is needed than what has already been provided. Which version of Windows cluster support is being requested?
