Tagasivõetav

Tagasivõetav is an Estonian adjective meaning recoverable, retrievable, or reclaimable. It describes something that can be taken back, restored, or reclaimed from a state, location, or process. The word is formed from the elements tagas- (back) and võtma (to take), and it is used in various technical and formal contexts to indicate recoverability rather than mere returnability.

In information technology and data management, tagasivõetav is commonly applied to data or systems that can be restored after loss or failure. Tagasivõetav data refers to information that can be recovered from backups, snapshots, or replication, ensuring continuity and data integrity in disaster recovery scenarios. The term highlights the capability of retrieving usable data rather than simply reissuing access.

In contractual, financial, and logistical contexts, tagasivõetav may describe assets, deposits, claims, or resources that can be reclaimed or recovered through processes such as reclamation, settlement, or refunds. It emphasizes the potential for retrieval rather than physical return of the item to a supplier or owner.

In environmental and waste-management discussions, tagasivõetav can describe materials or products that can be recovered, recycled, or reused at the end of their lifecycle, contributing to circular economy objectives.

Relation to other terms: tagasivõetav differs from tagastatav (returnable) in that tagasivõetav focuses on the ability to retrieve or recover, which may involve processes, systems, or conditions that enable recovery beyond simple physical return.
