You have two sites connnected via a VPN and a SME Server running on each site. In that case you don't need a dedicated Affa backup server. Both production servers can additionally act as Affa backup servers backing up the server of the other site. Simply install Affa and configure a job that backs up the other one. You can use all Affa features except of the rise feature.
When using the rise feature the server become any of the backed up systems, which is less useful in this scenario as it would give you a running copy of the server of the other site while the server of this site is down.
To get redundancy and a faster restore you can configure a local backup to an external USB or NAS device.
Please pay attention, that you do not backup the archives back to the other site. Set the RootDir property to a path which is not included in the SME default backup list. When leaving the RootDir property to its default '/var/affa', this is guaranteed.
