AlwaysON AG Backup Preference - how it works ?

$

Hi all,

I have just setup 2 a node WSFC with always on AG
Primary replica is on node1 and Secondary replicate in on node2.

On my AG -> Properties -> Under backup preference, i have set this option "Prefer Secondary" and have schedule a backup job on the primary replica.  (There is also a replica backup priorities and it is set as 50% , 50% default for node1 and noe2)

However, when the agent job run, the backup is created on the primary replica node1, and not on the secondary replica / node2.

Am i understanding it wrongly ? How do i use the secondary replica to do backup ?

Regards,
Noob
