What Justin says plus:
If it's a Windows client, make sure you're not using archive bit for
incremental backups.  Each server will clear the archive bit and cause files
to be skipped by the next server.

Yup, just put both master server (and media server) names in the client's 
bp.conf file.  Then setup a policy on each master to backup the client, 
keep in mind though you'd be backing up the same host twice.  You could 
also do a user-initiated backup and specify the master option to bpbackup 
and send the data to one master, another, or rotate, but then you would 
have to keep track of what was backed up and when.

I have not tested this.
