Add a further NIC to the servers with a new subnet and connect them together. You don't even need to use a hub or switch for this, you can use a standard crossover cable. If the reason for connecting the 2 servers is mainly for backup purposes, that method will also help to keep the rest of the network unaffected when the backup runs. Make sure you then create a trust relationship between the 2 servers.

This is to connect different domains to each other, as the other site is not a member of the domain, he wouldn't be able to authenticate to resources of the other domain. By creating trust relationships between domains, you can allow accounts on one domain to connect to resources on the other.

Windows 2000 Server Communication on different subnet

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
