the reason on why two backups are done is to keep the recovery

Since both the backups are scheduled in the morning, I don't think
that was the reason. If recovery log was the issue, they probably
would have spaced the backups more evenly. I think somebody just
thought it was a good idea to have an onsite copy and an offsite copy.
Must be nice to have a remote disaster recovery site that is
less than a 5-minute walk. ;)
That's not the recovery site; it's just where the DR tapes are
stored. But it's still "nice"; if we have a disaster, we just have
to walk over there and find the tapes to ship them to the hotsite.
