Default Multiple pumps for failure protection?

would it make more sense to
have multiple smaller pumps hooked up in parallel (with appropriate
back-flow check valves) rather than a single large pump?



I think that might be over complicated. I solved the problem by having my
main pump and a back up of about the same oomph. The difference is that my
main pump is a) more expensive because b) it is way more energy efficient.
My back up is just cheap because it only has to work long enough to repair
my main pump.
