The Cluster Edition allows you to configure multiple Backup Servers to perform dump and load operations. dump and load commands are routed to the appropriate Backup Server, depending on how you configured the cluster:
Dedicated – each instance in the cluster is assigned a specific Backup Server.
Round robin – instances are not assigned a specific Backup Server, but when they perform a dump or load, the cluster assigns a Backup Server for the job according to availability.
You can elect to have a single Backup Server (named SYB_BACKUP) for the cluster. See Chapter 5, “Using Backup Server in a Clustered Environment.”
