There doesn't seem to be any source for authoritative answers to most questions about TSM licensing. However, my best guess is as follows: You will need value units for the system hosting the new offsite server, unless you already have the system licensed for some reason. You will need the same number of value units you would need if you going to install TSM client software on the same hardware and have it send backups to an existing TSM server. You will not need any additional value units for the client systems that have backups stored on one TSM server now and will have backups stored on two TSM servers in the future.
