Fault tolerant system

Does anyone have any tips on a design pattern for fault tolerance (redundancy), perhaps with two mbed MCU chips, one standby and one active. The standby is like a hot backup.

This is obviously not a trivial design challenge and would not be used for safety or medical related systems; in my case home automation. Perhaps there is another option?

I found this article for five 9's availability: http://www.embedded.com/design/prototyping-and-development/4024434/Design-Patterns-for-High-Availability
