All,

We are using Avamar to backup our Windows Server 2012 with SQL Server 2016 servers. Our SQL Servers are Windows Core servers, no GUI installed on it.

AlwaysOn Availability Groups are implemented too, but here, we are getting a problem. Windows Failover Clusters are created after the individual nodes (with their backup solution) have been created.

What we are looking for now, is how to implement Avamar backups on our Windows Failover Clusters.

Is this possible without a GUI? If so: how?

How do we need to reconfigure our SQL Server backups and restores? They need to be made 'AlwaysOn-aware' too.

Please help if you have any guidance on this.

Thanks in advance.
