This PR includes documentation updates Updated pages: |
| When enabled, the DBMS automatically selects the most appropriate servers to act as backup sources for a given database. | ||
|
|
||
| By default, the online backup command requires the user to determine which servers host the target database and direct the command to one of them. | ||
| With remote address resolution enabled, the DBMS performs this mapping automatically, removing the need for manual server selection. |

| With remote address resolution enabled, the DBMS performs this mapping automatically, removing the need for manual server selection. | |
| The server selection occurs in the following order: | |
| * The DBMS first selects all servers hosting the database in secondary mode. | |
| * If it is not possible to back up from one of the secondaries, the DBMS attempts to take a backup from the primary followers before finally trying the database primary writer. |

"If those are not available" -> I think we are better saying if unable to take backup from one of the secondaries then the DBMS will attempt to backup from the primary followers, before finally trying the primary writer

| Starting from 2025.09, you can use the `--remote-address-resolution` option to let the DBMS select which servers to use as backup sources. | ||
| See xref:backup-restore/online-backup.adoc#_using_remote_address_resolution[] for more details. | ||

I think it would be good to add info about the new option also on this page, where we talk about some general concepts and planning of backup and restore operations.
