Hello @kannan kannan,

If you wanted to duplicate a stream that Wowza Engine ingested on the same server, you can use a custom module here to copy a live stream in one Live application to another Live application: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-duplicate-streams-to-another-application-instance-moduleduplicatestreams](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-duplicate-streams-to-another-application-instance-moduleduplicatestreams)

Regards,

Alex C.

For true redundancy you would need two video feeds, two RTMP encoders, and two WSE servers, two network links, etc., etc.

However if you just want two recordings or two feeds for an external provider you could either transrate and record both transrated streams, or use stream targets to send one servers output to another. I haven’t tried but I expect this would work from one WSE app to another using localhost as the hosthame.
