redundant systems
Parallel backup mechanisms
Redundant systems are backup components or processes designed to take over if primary ones fail.
The term appears most often in engineering, computing, and aviation, where failure could be catastrophic: The aircraft has redundant hydraulic systems.
Redundancy here isn't wasteful repetition—it's intentional duplication for safety and reliability.
