I have a physical server that I use for accessing a USB disk for offline backups for my production Veeam B&R.
I'd also like to use the same server to access a USB disk for a test B&R server, running the community edition.
At the moment the prod B&R server has installed a data mover onto the physical server. I don't know enough about how these work though - is that data mover install tied to the prod B&R server via some permanent config? What will happen if I point my test B&R server to the same physical server to try and create a new repository on it?
I'm worried this will break my prod data mover (and thus the prod USB repository).
Can somebody please advise?
Thanks.

Thanks, yes I could do this but I'd rather have it work as a "proper" repository if possible, I want to be able to use the "rotated drives" option. Hoping somebody here knows more about how the data movers work.
Otherwise I'll have to build a test lab and try it myself

Re: One data mover for two B&R servers?
I have shared a repository server between two VBR servers, using different folders but sharing the installed components. It worked as long as I remembered to apply any updates to both VBR servers. That was pre-v10, I don't know if something is different nowadays that would prevent it from working. It was never "best practice" in any case.
