You first probably want to take an ignite backup for vg00

Then you can use fbackup or Data Protector or whatever you use now, for the rest of the volumes.

vg00 backup itself backup serviceguard setings.

The cluster configuration is in the files in /etc/cmcluster so if you get a ignite image of that system and restore it then it should restore the cluster.   IF you made a change to the cluster after the backup of the cluster you might have to restore the system and do a cmapplyconf to put a updated cluster file on the node you restored.

Taking an Ignite-UX backup of vg00 saves the cluster configuration in /etc/cmcluster

vg00  contains /etc/lvmtab (used by Serviceguard packages) and /etc/lvmconf (where LVM backup files are saved), so LVM-related configuration backup is performed.
