Backing up FAST Configuration in a multi-server farm?

Hello,



This is probably a simple question, but I am wondering if it is necessary to run 

.\backup.ps1 -action config -backuppath <UNC path of backup store>

on all of my FAST Servers in farm if I am performing a configuration backup? Based on the wording from this TechNet Article, it seems as though running it on 1 FAST server should be sufficient, but it doesn't explicitly specify this, only that when a restore of the configuration occurs, that all FAST servers needs to restart FAST Services.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

Most of the configuration files are stored in the admin node. So I believe running on the admin node should be ok.

As an update, I tried running the configuration backup on one of our other FAST servers, and the FAST Management shell actually states that the backup can only be run on the Admin Node.
