You should look into setting up a 4D mirror. There is a tech note which includes code from a few years ago. It's built around the concept of "log shipping" where the .journal file is truncated periodically and 'shipped' to a 'mirror' 4D server where it is integrated. That gives you a 'mirror' that is identical to the source. The key 4D commands are New log file and INTEGRATE LOG FILE. We've been running a mirror (actually 3 for redundancy and maintenance) for years. We use a shared network folder to 'ship' the log files, but you can use other mechanisms such as Web Service or a cloud based share. Let me know if you have any questions.
