Redundancy can cover a wide variety of implementations. All have in common that there is more than one way. In case the first path fails, a second path might be provided. The term redundancyitself does not imply a specific implementation.
In a file system, redundancy can be interpreted as storing the same file allocation table (FAT) in two places. This does not protect against errors within the FAT, but protects against errors storing one of the copies.
A more comprehensive degree of redundancy could be accomplished not only by storing more than one copy of the FAT on each hard drive, but also by maintaining more than one copy of the entire hard drive. This is the approach taken by mirroring RAID arrays.
When human life is at risk, redundant systems can go as far as using different computer hardware and software, being constantly monitored to confirm that all systems reach the same conclusions at the same time (within a short tolerance window). For example, a computer system flying a passenger jet might be designed in this manner.

Storing the same data in more than one place is called?
redundancy
When you store the same data in more than one place?
Storing the same data in more than one place is known as data replication. This practice is often employed to improve data availability, reliability, and performance in distributed systems by ensuring redundancy and minimizing the risk of data loss in case of failures. However, it can also introduce complexity in data synchronization and consistency.

What is data redundancy?
Data redundancy refers to the unnecessary duplication of data in a database or system. It can cause inefficiencies, make updates more difficult, and increase storage requirements. Data redundancy can be minimized through normalization techniques in database design.
What is the replication and storing of data in more than one place called?
Backing up.
What is an example of fail safe principle of redundancy?
There is a school of thought residing with how much redundancy should be built in. obviously more redundancy should make it more reliable however those same additional parts could make the system fail as a consequence of additional redundancy.
Where can one find information regarding the laws about redundancy?
One can find information about laws concerning redundancy from many resources. A helpful site for one looking for information on redundancy is citizensinformation.This site offers information on what redundancy is, rules regarding redundancy, how to apply for it, and information regarding contact information to learn more about the laws dealing with redundancy.
What is redundancy and is it good or bad ina database?
Redundancy is when you have the same data in multiple locations. Some redundancy is good, while too much is bad. If two departments are using the exact same data, then this redundancy is bad. It is utilizing excess resources. Redundancy, can be used as a failsafe. Having a backup helps incase of data corruption. The key is too find the right balance of redundancy within a database.
What is statistical redundancy?
Statistical redundancy is : blablaBLABLAblabla ==> aabbbba .. bla ==> a BLA ==> bb "a" is chosen shorter than "bb" because "bla" is more frequent than "BLA".. ...
What is redundancy-?
Redundancy is the excessive repetition of something. A common example used by teachers/comic strip writers is the "Redundant Department of Redundancy" In the field of computers or electronics redundancy refers to having multiple components with the same function so that one or more can fail and the entire system can continue to function.
