It sounds like the additional licenses wouldn't really work for a buddy backup use case, because there wouldn't be much of a way to separate the systems without some kind of licence transfer. Is that correct?

Correct.  The additional licenses is for users that want to setup multiple systems of their own, not for buddy backups.

While not a buddy backup I hope the second license can be used to build a "regular" backup NAS system.  I've already got two backups on external HDD media but they are so SLOW.

Absolutely. That is 100% doable.

Wait, so if I have two licenses under my account I can't put my second server at eg my parents home for a offsite backup and sync via BuddyBackup?

@oliver12 taking a guess, i think it would probably "work", except it would only have one account on both.
So at that point it's just your backup on offsite machine, rather than a backup to a buddies machine who also happens to be offsite. 
If you wanted to gift this machine so that your parents could have their own, you'd need to give them your account at which point they could also access the machine you have.

So, Buddy Backup only works for different users? I bought 2 licenses a year ago to be able to do buddy backup with myself, so that's not possible? I would need to fall back to Replication Task over SSH ?
