If it's just as a redundant recorded then it doesn't really matter (but Satellite probably doesn't provide as much value either). If you need to line sessions up from two machines without a common video reference, you could use a 2-pop or something.

What is a "2-pop"?

For my use case it just seems easier to enable the Satellite Link since I already have two systems and they are already both connected to the same switches. Then I just hit play one one machine and they both start and stop recording at the same time, and the cursors align on both systems. I guess this could also be used if one or more tracks on the main system got corrupted I can then import the files from the back up system if I need to.
