What would be the alleged purpose of the second instance? It does make sense if you have two disjoint systems of databases and two backup systems. For instance, you can use one system to back up your NT boxes and another one to backup your Unix boxes. In that case, I'd recommend two separate RMAN systems, together with two catalogs. If it's only a security measure - definitely not because you'd stand a good chance of having discrepancies, what would be an administrative nightmare.
