Hi
It's important to ensure that the server has sufficient resources (CPU, RAM, storage) to handle the Media Agent's workload effectively.
As a best practice, deploying the MA in separate hardware is good.

Hello
As I know it is possible to do that, but it is not recommended to have the same server Media Agent and client backup server on the same machine. Please be aware what’s happened if You lose SQL machine and Media Agent as one server, it could be difficult to restore the data in the end, because You need to redeploy new Media Agent machine.
