Definition
修复 (xiū fù) means to restore or repair something to its original state, often for artifacts, data, or relationships. It is more formal and comprehensive than 修理 (xiū lǐ) (fixing mechanical items) and different from 恢复 (huī fù) (recovery of health/function). For small mends use 修补 (xiū bǔ); for making things look new use 翻新 (fān xīn).
