reload
I think "reload data" would be the term to use here.

: Since I found the original document, I'll agree. In IT, it is utterly irrelevant what people might think is correct, though it would have been easier to know what's right if the program had been specified.

Alexandra Hirsch (X)
: Yes, because SAP has the "Funktion Zurückladen", and they translated it as "reloading".

Alexander Schleber (X)
: Having read the originalpage in the SAP handbook, I am convinced this is the right answer. It's data beinf "reloaded" into a database.

restore

Benjamin Morris
: There are mixed meanings in all these terms: restore is often associated with lost or damaged data, reload is sometimes associated with reloading a page (more commonly, refresh). I think both work well.

I have used "restore" here because that's what I would view as the default in the absence of a more specific context.

: You could use "reload" for the second instance of the word, to avoid repetition. But I think Restore is the obvious name to give this function.

: From my experience as an ex long-term IT person I'd use restore to recover data from an archive, quarantine or similar.

Björn Vrooman
: I really wish I didn't have to do this, because yours is not wrong per se and you didn't have all the facts. But the above comment (made hours after I posted the relevant document) takes the cake. IT people know better than to change field names.

: True... but what does this have to do with the relocation of files from an archive to an active database?!

Follow Kartik's link; you'll see it's the exact same paragraph. Do not translate this any other way (which would only prove that you don't know the system).

Anyway, it would be interesting if the questioner could tell us, whether the text really concerns SAP, or the name of the corresponding application.
All I care about is that a translator's (possible) mistake doesn't cause more work for the customer. If Yuu tells us which SAP module/component this is, we could narrow down the search. Having worked in IT for years, I'm really not fond of Benjamin's approach. This doesn't mean that you couldn't be right about it (if we knew the exact context!).

As said, I can't tell from here what the field name is, but you need to keep it, not just use something you might think could be a good fit.

It gives restore and reload for "zurückladen," though I think reload is more likely. A good example: https://help.sap.com/doc/saphelp_46c/4.6C/en-US/12/a32446edc...
If you search the database, you'll also see what component the translation is for. That's something you need to figure out on your own.
