We have 2 sql servers connected via LAN with SQL Server 2000
databases . 1 server is at our Admin-Block and another at Plant. I want such a mechanism so that our data stored in Plant's Server could be copied on Office's Server automaticaly either simultenously or after a short span of time, to escape any failure of plant's server. I heard about the replication but it is said that it needs change in front-end's coding.
I tried to have backup of Plant's server database backup in our office's PC but SQL SERVER 2000 do not permit remote drive for backup.
Pls.suggest me!

SQL server 2000 DOES permit backups to a remote server. It's not recommended due to network hiccups (do a Google search) but can be accomplished using a UNC path that is shared and that the account running SQL Server agent has rights to.

If you are looking for a DR, try using LogShipping. Lot of very useful documents, with screen shots are available ..try googling.
