“Salvage” originally means “raising a sunken ship” or “rescuing cargo from a distressed ship.” In IT, it means “raising data”: retrieving data from storage media that can no longer be read because of a malfunction. Terms with the same meaning include “data recovery” and “data restoration.”
サルベージ（salvage）とは、もともと「沈没船の引き上げ」「遭難した船の貨物救助」などの意味を持つ言葉です。 IT業界では「データを引き上げる」、つまり不具合でデータを読み込めなくなった記憶媒体からデータを取り出す作業のことを指します。 同じ意味を表す言葉として「データ復旧」「データ復元」などがあります。
