The first thing to note is that you're reading quite old documentation. Notice that the URL references "1.0." I assume you're not actually using ActiveMQ Artemis 1.0, but if so you should upgrade. I recommend you read the latest documentation found here [1].
The second thing, and more to your point, is that the broker ships with a number of examples that demonstrate HA in various configurations for a handful of different use-cases. You can find these in the examples/features/ha directory in the broker distribution (although in the future these will be available separately [2]). I recommend you check out the "replicated-transaction-failover" example. After you run it you'll have 2 fully functional brokers configured for replication in the target/server0 and target/server1 directories. Another option would be to use the --replicated switch when creating the broker instances. You can combine this with --slave for configuring the backup.
