backup interfaces will connect when they are active. This is known as the next hop

routes using the interface name. Note that in the case where you are backing up a
multipoint WAN connection, such as an Ethernet connection, you must enter next
hop IP addresses in order for routing to occur properly, but when backing up a
point-to-point connection, this information is not necessary.
