      Hi ​@catchme.arul ,

      What exactly do you want to archive with this? do you want to create another backup chain?

      It should be possible to add the vcenter to 2 different VBR Server but proxys etc. can be only used by one VBR Server as far as I know. 

      Another approach would be moving the primary Backup Server and the Repository to the DR site to have things separated. 

      Regards

        ​@catchme.arul - I do this very same thing. I have vCenter in m “prod” VBR server I use solely for Backup Jobs. I have another VBR server in a DR site and connect the same vCenter to it and use this VBR server solely for Replication Jobs for my DR strategy. 

        Do you have a specific question other than if you’re able/allowed to add vCenter to multiple VBRs? As Chalid states, you have to use different Proxy/Repos on each VBR server, but yes...you can have vCenter added to multiple VBR servers.

        Let us know if you have further questions.
