Data degradation: Applications, Overview & Manifestations

Data degradation is the gradual corruption of computer data due to an accumulation of non-critical failures in a data storage device. It is also referred to as data decay, data rot, digital decay, or bit rot. This results in a decline in data quality over time, even when the data is not being utilized.
