ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for restoring data is provided for easily restoring a file that is carelessly deleted from a hard disk. A microcomputer1is constructed as follows. An original file and a file for restoration whose extension is different from that of the original file are stored in a HDD unit3. When it is determined that the original file is not capable of being reproduced, the filename or the extension of the file for restoration may be renamed, thereby restoring the original file. Even when the original file is carelessly deleted or not capable of being reproduced due to its corruption, the original file can be automatically restored using the file for restoration.
