Redundant link configuration

Hi,

I'm not very old in networking, and I want to migrate to following
configuration:



  Local router						  Remote router
+---------------+					+---------------+
|		|					|		|
|		|192.168.0.1	link 1	192.168.0.11	|		|
| 		|---------------------------------------| 		|
|		|---------------------------------------|		|
|		|192.268.0.2	link 2	192.168.0.12	|		|
+---------------+					+---------------+


The link 192.168.0.1 <->192.168.0.11 Is the actual one, using RF, and I
want to move all traffic to the new OF link 192.268.0.2 <->192.168.0.12.

I don't know how to configura the routers to use the second link, and to
keep the first link for redundancy, and if something is happening with
link2, tha traffic must use automatically link1.

It's enough tu use routing metrics, or I must use a routing protocol (and
if so, which one)?
