   I wonder if it would be worth my while to plumb in the backup unit   
   inside the machine room for redundancy?  It would only be drying already   
   dried air anyway.

   ----------------------------   
      
   You could plumb it in with disconnect fittings such as unions and flex hose   
   and make a straight pipe replacement from the piece cut out to quickly swap   
   in if you need the dryer elsewhere. I did that with a tempering tank in the   
   water heater's feed line and swapped when a weld on the tank began to leak.   
      
   It's a Monel (copper+nickel) electric water heater tank with mild steel   
   angle welded on as supports, contamination which apparently saved it from   
   recycling at the scrapyard. Some day I may grind or etch out the rusty steel   
   and TIG the holes with nickel or Nickels.
