Abstract
Techniques for backing up replicated data are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method for backing up replicated data comprising identifying replicated data on a primary node and a secondary node, and determining whether a backup is capable of being performed on the secondary node. In the event a backup is capable of being performed on the secondary node, the method may create a backup copy of the identified replicated data on the secondary node, and in the event a backup is not capable of being performed on the secondary node, the method may create a backup copy of the identified replicated data on the primary node.
