Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Using 2 B&R servers and 2 repositories in somewhat HA state

Hi ahmoled

No, it's not possible today with Veeam Backup & Replication. But we know about the request.
Please check the forum search. You will find similar question and answers from other users.

Or is it better to have 2 servers but only one up, the other configured with shared config files ?

Two backup server accessing the same configuration will not work.
You can use a replica job to replicate your VBR VM to the other site. Or keep a spare backup server in your second site. If the primary backup server goes down, you have to import the latest configuration backup. Which will allow you to continue jobs and restores from the second backup server.

What about the 2 NAS ? Is it possible to have 2 backup repositories with the same data ?

Storage replication could be possible outside of Veeam. But it's not recommended. Because the backup server wouldn't be aware.
Also storage replication will replicate corrupted blocks as well.
I suggest to use Veeam backup copy jobs to copy backups to the NAS on the other site.

Best,
Fabian
