Computer data Computer data Computer files can be divided into two broad categories: binary and text. ...more on Wikipedia about "Binary and text files"
A computer file is a collection of information that is stored in a computer system and can be identified and referenced in its entirety by a unique ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer file"
The term computer file management refers to the manipulation of documents and data in files on a computer. Specifically, one may create a new file or edit an existing file and save it; open or load a pre-existing file into memory; or close a file without saving it. Additionally, one may group related files in directories or folders. These tasks are accomplished in different ways in different operating systems and depend on the user interface design and, to some extent, the storage medium being used. ...more on Wikipedia about "Computer file management"
Continuous data protection (CDP), also called continuous backup, refers to backup of computer data by automatically saving a copy of every change made to that data, essentially capturing every version of the data that the user saves. It allows the user or administrator to restore data to any point in time. ...more on Wikipedia about "Continuous data protection"
Data is the plural of datum. ...more on Wikipedia about "Data"
Data corruption refers to computer data that when transmitted, arrives at its destination as different than when it was transmitted from the source, rendering it unusable. It also refers to errors that occur during storage of data. ...more on Wikipedia about "Data corruption"
In computing, data loss refers to the unforseen, usually accidental, loss of data or information. It can happen due to several reasons: ...more on Wikipedia about "Data loss"

Data recovery is the process of recovering data from primary storage media when it cannot be accessed normally. This can be due to physical damage to the storage device or logical damage to the file system that prevents it from being mounted by the host operating system. ...more on Wikipedia about "Data recovery"
Data salvaging is the process of salvaging or rescuing data from damaged, failed, wrecked or inaccessible storage media. Often the data is being salvaged from storage media formats such as hard disk drive, storage tapes, CDs, DVDs, RAID, and other electronics. The need to rescue or salvage data often is the result of physical or logical damaged to the storage devices or the corruption of the computing file system that which the data resides. ...more on Wikipedia about "Data salvaging"
Disk formatting is the process of preparing a hard disk or other storage medium for use with the file system ( FAT, NTFS, UFS, etc.) of an operating system. A variety of utilities and programs exist for this task; pictured to the right is the iconic FORMAT.COM of MS-DOS and PC-DOS. ...more on Wikipedia about "Disk formatting"
In computer science, an execute in place (XIP) filesystem is one that allows certain sections of programs to be stored read-only in an area other than main system memory. This is often used to allow code to run from the same location at which it is permanently stored. ...more on Wikipedia about "Execute in place"
Future proofing is the act of trying to anticipate future developments and taking action to minimise possible negative consequences. ...more on Wikipedia about "Future proof"
A leading zero is any zero that proceeds a number string beginning with a non-null value. Often, leading zeros are found on non-electronic and LED digital displays that contain fixed sets of digits, such as the manual counter, the stopwatch, the odometer and the digital clock. Leading zeros are also generated by many older computer programs when creating values to assign to new records, accounts and other files, and as such are likely to be used by utility billing systems, human resources information systems and government databases. Many digital cameras and other electronic media recording devices use leading zeros when creating and saving new files. ...more on Wikipedia about "Leading zero"
In computer science, precision of a numerical quantity is a measure of the detail in which the quantity is expressed. This is usually measured in binary bits, but sometimes in decimal digits. See precision (arithmetic). ...more on Wikipedia about "Precision (computer science)"
In computer science, primitive types, as distinct from composite types - are datatypes provided by a programming language as basic building blocks. Depending on the language and its implementation, primitive types may or may not have a one-to-one correspondence with objects in the computer's memory. ...more on Wikipedia about "Primitive type"
In computer science sequential access means that a group of elements (e.g. data in a memory array or a disk file or on a tape) is accessed in a predetermined, ordered sequence. Sequential access is sometimes the only way of accessing the data, for example if it is on a tape. It may also be the access method of choice, for example if we simply want to process a sequence of data elements in order. ...more on Wikipedia about "Sequential access"
In computing, the term stream is used in a number of ways, in all cases referring to a succession of data elements made available over time. ...more on Wikipedia about "Stream (computer)"
The Sudden Motion Sensor is an allegedly patented data protection feature introduced by Apple Computer into its refreshed PowerBook and iBook lines on January 1, 2005 and July 26, 2005 respectively. The feature monitors the orientation of the laptop and detects sudden changes in velocity. Laptops are designed to utilize this feature to prevent damage to the hard disk caused by strong vibrations or movement, such as a drop or fall. ...more on Wikipedia about "Sudden Motion Sensor"

In computer science, a value may be a number, literal string, array and anything that can be treated as if it were a number. In other words, label, subprogram, datatype, inheritance and control flow are not values in general. The exact definition varies across programming languages. Variables and subprogram calling sites are mostly treated as if they are values. ...more on Wikipedia about "Value (computer science)"
