The well-known WinRar utility has a way to create an archive with redundant information so that if the archive is damaged, it can be restored (an example archive is stored on a CD), do utilities under linux have such mechanisms, thanks!

There are other ways besides redundant coding . Some of them work on the basis of file systems that duplicate data at the level of file data blocks, others - at the hardware level (RAID and others). Well, it's trite to duplicate the archive of documents somewhere for storage in a remote storage (access via S3, FTP, ...).
For me, it doesn't make much sense to use redundant encoding today, except for unreliable drives like DVD, magnetic drives.
