Techniques regarding adaptive data recovery schemes are provided. For example, one or more embodiments described herein can comprise a system, which can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components. The system can also comprise a processor, operably coupled to the memory, and that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a data management component that can modify a data recovery scheme based on performance data exhibited by a network of data centers and a data recovery requirement. The data recovery scheme can direct a relocation of data within the network.
