For networked electronic publications, it may be attractive to archive only one copy of a document which can be accessed remotely, but this approach bears many risks with regard to loss or damage of that master copy. Redundant copies of electronic documents should be stored in various places in order to avoid loss or corruption of archived material. Providing multiple copies in a distributed network also accelerates access times as users can log into a server that is geographically close to them or to which they maintain particularly fast links.
