Abstract
A computer system and a data recovery method are provided. The computer system includes an embedded controller (EC). The data recovery method includes following steps. When the computer system stores data into the EC through a basic input/output system (BIOS), the data is backed up into a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) by the BIOS. The EC enters a power-off mode. The data is obtained from the NVRAM and is stored back to the EC after the EC leaves the power-off mode. Accordingly, the EC recovers from the power-off mode.
