restore files
Retrieve lost documents
To restore files is to recover data from a backup or previous state, returning documents, photos, or other digital content to their original location after loss, deletion, or corruption.
The phrase appears in system settings and recovery software: I was able to restore files from last week's backup.
Restoring may retrieve individual items or entire folders.
