A method of protecting data on a recording medium against an adjacent track erase (ATE) effect, and a recording medium having a program therefor are provided. The method includes accumulating a number of turns of write operations in respective sub-areas, wherein the recording medium is divided into a plurality of sub-areas; and rewriting data on a sub-area of which an accumulated number of turns of write operations is greater than a limited number of turns of write operations. Accordingly, before data written on an adjacent track can be damaged by the ATE effect, data is rewritten and safely preserved.
