Method and system for data management in a means of transport

A method for data management in a means of transport, which comprises the steps of:

• comparing a first count stored in a first control apparatus, in a first comparison, with a second count stored in a second control apparatus;
• comparing a count selected from the first and second counts on a basis of a result of the first comparison, in a second comparison, with a check count stored in a backup apparatus;
• and
• taking a result of the second comparison as a basis for control data linked with the check count that are stored in the backup apparatus being adopted by the first control apparatus or the second control apparatus.

A system for data management in a means of transport, the system comprising:

• a first controller;
• a second controller;
• a backup apparatus;
• and
• the system being configured to compare, in a first comparison, a count stored in said first controller with a count stored in said second controller and to compare, in a second comparison, a count selected on a basis of a result of the first comparison with a check count stored in said backup apparatus, and said first and second controllers are configured to take a result of the second comparison as a basis for adopting control data linked with the check count that are stored in said backup apparatus.
