Backing up secondary storage locaion that's an EMC Data Domain

Hey folks, I recently integrated Enterprise Vault with one of our Data Domain deduplication appliances - which involves having EV create collections and migrating them off to the Data Domain. That works fine. BUT - now I am realizing that the EV backup agent does not reach out to the secondary storage location of the vault store to back that up. We have a data domain at our DR site, and one at our main site. They have the capability of replicating to each other and also scheduling snapshots as a way of backing up a point in time, however restoration is all or nothing. Right now, I've configured Backup Exec 2012 to backup the CIFS share of one data domain to another as a means of backup and redundancy. Doing CIFS backups are pretty slow, but offer the ability to pick what I want to restore if needed. I'm looking for some comments or suggestions on backing up this secondary location...

...you'd probably have to look at replicating the configuration in the second site by adding in another media server.
