The backup servers were registered with Amazon, and were not Amazon servers. So, when Amazon took down the Amazon-servers, Amazon automatically routed people to the backup servers. Otherwise, no one would ever have known who those servers were.
Essentially, Amazon told everyone trying to connect to Parler, who the backups were. It wouldn't have told them before the Amazon-servers were down. And it shouldn't have told them ANYTHING after, but unfortunately, it did.
