In Snowflake, instead of replicating data multiple times within the same system, Snowflake relies on the inherent redundancy and durability features of the underlying cloud storage providers. These services automatically manage data replication across multiple locations to ensure durability and availability.
While Snowflake doesn’t replicate data within the same account for fault tolerance, it offers features for replicating databases across different accounts, regions, or cloud platforms for purposes like disaster recovery and data sharing. https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/account-replication-intro
