Retrying execution after failure?

Question

Programming

What is the name of a language construct (pattern) that allows you to repeat the execution of a code fragment when a failure (exception) occurs during its execution.

Answer 1

Many solve this with regular cycles. But you are not looking for a solution, but a name ?

Answer 2

Naturally, a simple cycle or "schedule" of tasks will underlie the method. It's hard to think of anything else.
Let's imagine that you have an application that allows the user to upload images from their phone to some storage. Obviously, the Internet is not always fast and reliable. I would like to ensure the possibility of guaranteed loading of new pictures, without waiting for the download of each individual one.
The "guaranteed download" requirement says that an entity is needed that will be responsible for monitoring the success of the download and for initiating a retry if the previous one failed. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the entity and the pattern. The requirement to be able to load in parallel means that requests must be executed asynchronously.
Now let's imagine that in the process of downloading the phone's battery is discharged. This is the nuance. Ideally, the scheduler stores a list of tasks in ROM. For example, the scheduler can save a list of images to be downloaded to a file on disk and “delete” those that were successfully downloaded from there.
Perhaps there is something ready, but I have not met, to be honest.

For example, in Lisp:
