Hi Colin,
Yes, I believe a load balancing active / active (RAC Like) type configuration in the appliance would really ensure its bullet proof. NetBackup already has the concept of load balancing media servers for storage unit selection, and also load balancers where dedupe is concerned. With this config the storage server should also be active / active but not sure if the same storage server could access another's data. Interesting concepts.
As the capacity of the appliance is increasing it becomes a little alarming (IMHO) that we're putting all that data in a pool accessible via only 1 server. HA in media servers is fairly complex but implementing a load balancing type configuration on CVM should ensure we can get to the data if something fails.
