In telecommunication, a recovery procedure is a process that attempts to bring a system back to a normal operating state. Examples:

1. The actions necessary to restore an automated information system's data files and computational capability after a system failure.
2. In data communications, a process whereby a data station attempts to resolve conflicting or erroneous conditions arising during the data transfer.
