 The first run will be a full backup. Future runs will be incremental. If a new backup attempt starts while a previous one is still running, it may be skipped or fail. In that case, adjust the schedule to avoid overlap.

+### Configuring backups from a replica node
+
+For high availability, you can designate a replica node as your backup server. To minimize latency, {% data variables.product.github %} recommends picking a replica node in the same region or datacenter as your primary node.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT] 
+> Backups from cache replica nodes or active geo replica nodes are not supported.
+
+To configure your backup server, run the following commands, replacing `HOSTNAME` with the hostname of the node:
+
+```shell
+ghe-config cluster.HOSTNAME.backup-server true
+
+ghe-config-apply
+```
+
+You can now run `ghe-backup` directly on your replica node.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Due to the latency between primary and replica nodes, you may lose data when backing up from a replica node.
