What is the key advantage of maintaining redundancy in file storage?

Faster image processing
Lower storage costs
Protection against data loss
Improved image resolution

The correct answer is: Protection against data loss

Maintaining redundancy in file storage is primarily advantageous for protection against data loss. When data is duplicated across multiple locations or systems, it ensures that a backup is available in case the primary data is compromised or lost due to hardware failure, accidental deletion, or corruption. This protective measure is crucial for photographers and other professionals who rely on their files to be secure and accessible at all times. In contrast, faster image processing, lower storage costs, and improved image resolution do not directly relate to redundancy. While these aspects are important in storage and processing workflows, they do not provide the same level of security against the risk of losing valuable data, which is the fundamental purpose of implementing redundancy in file storage systems.
