recovery tool

Gets things back

A recovery tool is any instrument or software designed to retrieve something lost or restore something to working condition.

In computing, recovery tools salvage deleted files or repair corrupted systems: I used a data recovery tool to get my photos back.

Physical recovery tools help extract vehicles, equipment, or people from difficult situations—tow straps, winches, or specialized rescue equipment.
