we have 1 primary node, 1 secondary node, 1 hidden node. I have just installed pbm agents on secondary nodes. when i try to take backup on secondary - i get this error.

Error: no progress from leader, backup metadata not found

the agent corresponding to the primary node must be up & running for the backup to work? Please confirm.
I would like perform backup on secondary nodes not on primary.
so do i need to install agents on all primary, secondary & hidden nodes.?

Hello, even if you are not going to run the backup on the primary the agent is required. Check Configuration file options — Percona Backup for MongoDB 1.8 Documentation
for details about how to select the nodes that run the backup.

Is it possible to run remotely. I mean installing the agent on another server and try to run backup from source database by specifying mongodb-uri pointing to source.
