German term or phrase: gehoben
This is used in logistics texts but the reference is to IT/data processing.

Das defekte Gerät wird an das XXXXXXXX Repaircenter geschickt. Es ist wichtig, dass auf dem Reparaturauftrag vermerkt wird, dass die Daten gehoben werden müssen. Konnten die Daten vom Repaircenter gehoben werden und sind diese ins System gelaufen, müssen die doppelten, manuell gesetzten Kennzeichen storniert werden. (perhaps "downloaded" or "extracted" in view of talk of duplicating information & the need to delete duplicate information?)

I'm not sure if gehoben refers to eliminating or "lifting (extracting i.e. downloading) the data....This is related to a an unsuccessful data transfer using the Gerät and a possible reason for the unsuccessful transfer is that the device is defect.
Here the Gerät mentioned in the sentence is used to transfer data. However the data transfer is not successful: Eine fehlende Übertragung kann auch in einem Defekt des gerätes begründet sein...and therefore the Gerät must be sent to the repair centre.

Thanks in advance

recovered
Explanation:
I *think* this is a situation of trying to get data from a non-functioning device. If that's so, then "recovered" is the usual term in IT circles. However, if it's simply a question of getting the data off a normally working drive, then "retrieved" would be better.

I agree, I think recovered is more adequate in the case of a defect device.

agree  Ken Cox: or recovered (my first thought). It would of course be nice to know what sort of device it is.

  -> Thank you, Ken! Please feel free to post "recover" as your own answer - it's better than "retrieve"!
agree  Elisabeth Moser: I agree, for the first gehoben I would use recover, the next one retrieved
47 mins
agree  Kcda: A very good one (guess)! I also like K.Cox version "recovered". Both terms are used for mass storage devices (hard disk/drive, tape backups, zip drive etc.). Not flash drives/cd/dvd media with defects. Recovered: when defects exist. Retrieved: data acess.

agree  anisco: with "retrieved" :-)! I have to mention that "gehoben" is not commonly used in German IT speak!

Example sentence(s):
  • The hard drive stopped working, but the technicial was able to *recover* the data.
  • I *retrieved* the file from the server.
