Hi

It may depend on the software you are using to perform the backup but in most cases you can back up either/any node and the logs will be truncated.  Obviously the node you back up will need to have a copy of all the databases for the DAG.

If you use the Windows backup, the backup will have to be performed on the active server. There are a number of other limitations as well, but it is free.

If you go for paid softwares, almost all allows backup to be done from a passive copy. I haven't come across one that doesn't allow it.
