1. A method, comprising:
- taking a remote snapshot of a data associated with a node within a cluster of nodes by using a snapshot facility of an operating system;
wherein;
the cluster of nodes provides a failover clustering service provided by an operating system for the cluster of nodes; and
the snapshot facility does not need to be installed on top of any software provided by a standard distribution of the operating system;
recording a set of backup data components; and
remotely restoring the data by interpreting the remote snapshot with the set of backup data components.
