That is a good solution under two conditions:

a) you are only concerned with redundancy and not looking for 
scalability - when I say scalability, I refer to the idea of maybe 3 or 
more gmetads running in parallel collecting data from huge numbers of agents

b) you can afford to have duplicate storage - if your storage 
requirements are huge (retaining a lot of historic data or lot's of data 
at short polling intervals), you may not want to duplicate everything
