Note
One spelling does two jobs. It can carry a clause by itself (she retrieved the file), or it can follow have or be in perfect and passive constructions (the file has been retrieved). Every sense of retrieve takes an object, so the passive is always available. It suits computing especially well, where it keeps attention on the data: records retrieved from a backup.
