Usage Note

Recuperación covers physical recovery (from illness), economic recovery, and the retrieval of data or objects. Recuperación de datos (data recovery) is its most common technical use. The verb recuperar and its reflexive recuperarse (to recover, to get better) are used far more frequently in everyday speech than the noun.
