Abstract :
Replication and error-correction are standard mechanisms to cope with data corruption. We consider how these two approaches can be combined for preservation of digital data. We provide an information-theoretic model and theoretical framework, and discuss how recent breakthroughs such as the development of Raptor codes may play a part in future practical systems
