It sounds like you're after a disaster recovery scenario, specifically site failover. There are a couple of ways of doing this:

  1. Backup to tape, ship offsite
  2. Replication in some form
  3. Standby database

Which approach you take is going to be determined by your downtime requirements, data loss bandwidth, transaction rates etc. etc. If you can tell us more of this, I could point you in the right direction.

By the way, you should remember that a good disaster recovery scenario has machine failover included, not just site failover. This is where Parallel Server (or FailSafe if you're on NT) comes into the picture.
