A method and system for dynamic redundancy in storage systems is described. The method may include receiving a data fragment from a data stream of user data to be archived. The method may further include splitting the data fragment into a first number of data chunks. The method may also include, in response to determining that the data fragment is not a last data fragment in the data stream, generating a second number of additional data chunks based upon, at least in part, the first number of data chunks. The method may additionally include, in response to determining that the data fragment is the last data fragment in the data stream, generating a third number of additional data chunks based upon, at least in part, the first number of data chunks.
