    Abstract: An improved data recovery system for appliances is provided. The system includes an operating module with operating memory which controls the appliance, a recovery module which recovers operation of the device upon a power disturbance, and a data storage device. During operation, critical data is saved to the data storage device. In the event of a power disturbance causing the operating module to reset, the data storage device is checked for valid saved critical data which, if found, is loaded into the computing device's operating memory upon power restoration. In this way, the system is able to recover operation from the point at which critical data was last saved, without the use of a power loss detection circuit and large capacitor used in traditional systems to detect power loss, and power the system while critical data is saved.
