- The secondary replicas support performing log backups and [copy-only](../../../database-engine/availability-groups/windows/active-secondaries-backup-on-secondary-replicas-always-on-availability-groups.md) backups of a full database, file, or filegroup. You can configure the availability group to specify a preference for where backups should be performed. It's important to understand that the preference isn't enforced by SQL Server, so it has no impact on ad hoc backups. The interpretation of this preference depends on the logic, if any, that you script into your back jobs for each of the databases in a given availability group. For an individual availability replica, you can specify your priority for performing backups on this replica relative to the other replicas in the same availability group. For more information, see [Active Secondaries: Backup on secondary replicas](../../../database-engine/availability-groups/windows/active-secondaries-backup-on-secondary-replicas-always-on-availability-groups.md).
