A broker with a connection router configured can have a backup just like any other broker can.
As the documentation [1] notes, A connection router works by redirecting a client to the proper broker. This is done at the protocol level. Unfortunately the STOMP protocol simply doesn't support any kind of redirect functionality. STOMP clients can use the management API [2] to determine where to connect.
