Lookup File Editor with Search Head Clustering : Backup files not replicating

As the title said, I have a cluster with 3 servers. When user 1 saved a lookup, the lookup (CSV file) is replicated but the backup file is not. If user 2 wants to restore the backup of user 1 he can't (if he is on another server than user 1)

Is this a normal behavior ? I'm using lookup editor v2.5.0 and Splunk 6.6.1

This is normal behavior. I was fearful of causing replication to happen too often and thus designed the lookups to not replicate. My hope was that Splunk would implement delta replication which would only send the changes, not the entire bundle. This would reduce the size of the bundles enough that replicating the backups would be acceptable.
