there is such a thing as shadowing but this is server based and the shadow
copy is NOT simultaneously able to be connected to. It's designed for
hardware failure and has downsides all it's own (e.g. main db file
corruption is instantaneously mirrored to the shadow).
What you need is replication. (Corruption is far less likely to be mirrored)
You need two servers to make replication work.
Have a look at www.ibphoenix.com to see what there is in this line.
