You should only back up the primary server. NEVER schedule or perform a
backup on the standby server.
Synchronization should only be done from the standby server. NEVER schedule
or perform a synchronization on the primary server.
Always schedule or perform a backup on the primary server one hour before
scheduling a synchronization or performing an on-demand synchronization on
the standby server. Backups require more time as the primary server
continues collecting configuration data.
NEVER schedule backups at the same time as a synchronization. This will
NEVER work.
Scheduled jobs should be included when backing up an appliance before
synchronization. This will save you valuable time when restoring the backup
on a new appliance. Unless you have backed up your scheduled jobs, you will
have to recreate them on the new appliance.
