The invention discloses a self-adaptive recovery method and a self-adaptive recovery system for intelligent power grid data based on information center network. The method comprises the following steps: S1, sending power grid data recovery request message containing authorization attributes to a router at the upstream in the center network by a power grid data recovery request side; S2, checking the authorization attributes by the router at the upstream, if the authorization attributes are authorized or in delegation authorization, going to S3, otherwise, directly transmitting request message to a data source end to obtain data; S3, checking whether the router transmits the data or not, if the router transmits the data, going to S4, otherwise, going to S5; S4, checking whether the router is stored with the data, if yes, responding to the request and returning the data to the client side, otherwise, going to S5; and S5, continuously transmitting the request message to an upper-layer router of the information center network, and repeating S2 until the power grid recovery data is obtained. The self-adaptive recovery method and the self-adaptive recovery system can be used for reducing the construction of a focused backup center and improving the recovery efficiency of the power grid data.
