 Description   

We got few customer tickets regarding running 2 backup agents, so we should add an FAQ entry in

http://mms.mongodb.com/help/backup/faq/

=================================================
Can I run 2 backup agents for redundancy?

You can run 2 backup agents, but it is not recommended.
You will see this message appears a lot in the log:

[2014/02/04 11:22:22] [agent.info] [10gen.com/backup-agent/backup-agent.go:55] Detected the possibility of another agent running. Waiting a few minutes to make sure I'm the only agent.

This message is MMS detecting multiple backup agents and temporarily throttling to avoid any duplication issues.
If the message being repeated concerns you, please stop one of these two agents. Otherwise it should be safe to ignore.
