The backup is node independent so when restoring an entire 3 node cluster, you can restore the backup on each. What you don't want to do is only restore on one node with the other 2 with empty DBs and bring up all 3 at the same time. In that case, the 2 with no data may form a majority and the cluster comes up with no data. You can stagger them, ie restore on 1, bring 2 up and verify they're synced, then bring up the 3rd. But it's easiest to just restore on all 3.
