Hey Ryan - how's it going?

I've actually done this a couple of times.  It should work reasonably 
well.   When I've done this it's usually been with one library on each 
of the backup systems. The main issue may be if you're using Oracle 
extensions - obviously you can't have both systems replace the Oracle 
library at the same time.

I don't see any reason why you can't do this assuming you don't have 
both active at once on the same storage unit.
