How to set up networking correctly for a backup VM with different primary IP but same Secondary IP

I would like to create a running backup VM for one of my VMs. I want the secondary backup VM to initially have a different IP, but to receive all the same traffic that the main VM does. I heard that this is possible through binding a second IP, but with all the networking options available within Virtualbox and the actual VM, I am not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Do you have a plan if these were real, physical computers? How would you do it then? Don't you need a load-balancing server or something similar that will handle the failures and the networking?

Do you really expect a reply based on that?
