backup restore
Data rescue operation
Backup restore is the process of recovering data from a backup copy, typically after data loss, corruption, or system failure.
The phrase treats the two operations as a unit—you back up files to protect them, then restore from that backup when needed: The IT department performed a backup restore after the server crash.
Often shortened to just restore when context is clear.
