Hi ​@Ajal 

Request you to refer to the FAQ below for guidance on Aux Copy configuration. Additionally, we recommend using a separate Media Agent (MA) for the MRR library to achieve better performance.

@Ajal 
We can use existing DDB Database and it will not impact your existing cluster configuration
