-  If you specify `releases/*` as a deployment branch or tag rule, only a branch or tag whose name begins with `releases/` can deploy to the environment. (Wildcard characters will not match `/`. To match branches or tags that begin with `release/` and contain an additional single slash, use `release/*/*`.) If you add `main` as a branch rule, a branch named `main` can also deploy to the environment.

+  The deployment branch or tag rule is matched against the `GITHUB_REF` of the workflow run. For values of `GITHUB_REF` for each workflow trigger, see [AUTOTITLE](/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows). If you specify `releases/*` as a deployment branch or tag rule, only a `GITHUB_REF` whose name begins with `releases/` can deploy to the environment.

+### Configuring backups from a replica node
+
+For high availability, you can designate a replica node as your backup server. To minimize latency, {% data variables.product.github %} recommends picking a replica node in the same region or datacenter as your primary node.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT] 
+> Backups from cache replica nodes or active geo replica nodes are not supported.
+
+To configure your backup server, run the following commands, replacing `HOSTNAME` with the hostname of the node:
+
+```shell
+ghe-config cluster.HOSTNAME.backup-server true
+
+ghe-config-apply
+```
+
+You can now run `ghe-backup` directly on your replica node.
+
+> [!WARNING]
+> Due to the latency between primary and replica nodes, you may lose data when backing up from a replica node.

+The `failed to connect to host` error occurs when {% data variables.product.company_short %} attempts a webhook delivery but could not resolve the webhook's URL to an IP address or there are network restrictions preventing connection to the host.
 
 To check whether a host name resolves to an IP address, you can use `nslookup`. For example, if your payload URL is `https://octodex.github.com/webhooks`, you can run `nslookup octodex.github.com`. If the host name could not be resolved to an IP address, the nslookup command will indicate that the server can't find the host name.
 
+You should make sure that your server allows connections from {% data variables.product.company_short %}'s IP addresses. You can use the `GET /meta` endpoint to find the current list of {% data variables.product.company_short %}'s IP addresses. See [AUTOTITLE](/rest/meta/meta#get-github-meta-information). Ensure connectivity is allowed from the IP addresses listed in the `hooks` section. {% data variables.product.company_short %} occasionally makes changes to its IP addresses, so you should update your IP allow list periodically.

 ## Failed to connect to network
 
 The `failed to connect to network` error indicates that your server refused the connection when {% data variables.product.company_short %} attempted to deliver a webhook.
