recoverability
Ability to restore
Recoverability is the capacity to be recovered—whether data from a crashed hard drive, costs from a lawsuit, or an ecosystem from pollution.
The term appears most often in technical, legal, and environmental contexts where the question is whether something lost or damaged can be restored or retrieved: The recoverability of the deleted files depends on how much has been overwritten.
