Thank you for the update.
As far as I understood, you now have two 32TB storages, one local and one remote. They don't have to be "identical" though.
I wonder if DPM is smart enough for you to be able to restart a failed backup from the point of failure. For example, a backup job successfully writes tapes 1 to 16, the library then "stops functioning" at tape 17, you (or a script) restarts the backup job, and the job writes just tapes 17 to 32 without going through tapes 1 to 16 again. We don't know the answer; you may want to ask Microsoft.
