how hot is a hot backup?

Concerning Replication and Hot Backups.

We'll be doing replication with one of the goals being hot backups (ie: redundancy). When one machine falls apart, what exactly is necessary to switch the world to the other one? Can this be done transparently? Better yet - are there some white papers floating around?

Please tell me this can be done transparently...

Thanks in advance,
