| Redundancy ensures that viewers can continue watching even if part of the streaming pipeline fails. The platform offers two complementary levels of failover: | ||

| ## How it works | ||
| - **Engine redundancy** — connect multiple engines to a single distribution, so the player fails over to a healthy engine when one becomes unavailable. |

Documents the new
backupIngestIdof an engine for customers integrating with the API, in product terms (no internal details).theolive/distribution/redundancy.md): the page now distinguishes engine redundancy (existing content, regrouped) from a backup ingest. The new section covers how the engine falls back to the backup and returns to the primary, that the switch stays within the engine (no player/distribution failover), setup withPOST/PATCHengine examples, the requirements the API validates (same channel, srt/rtmp types, engine region, no speech enhancement) with the error codes, and what it means for the backup ingest (not deletable, source settings locked while a connected engine runs). Ends with a comparison table of the two options.The API reference will pick up
backupIngestIdautomatically from the swagger once the API change is deployed.Generated with Devin
