Is it downloaded from a computer inside the company maintenance building or an on-board system or computer. I understand that SATCOM being expensive, only the "headers" are sent and the rest is stored until further treatment. But retrieve from where?
From F-GZCP on-board system...
It is lost and we are left with our best guesses. From comparisons with other similar incidents documented with other ACARS sequences, be sure that the investigators and Airbus will get much more data than we actually have. But from what we have, there is no reason to believe that F-GZCP crashed at 0214Z.
Something else much more critical happened to her, starting with the failure of the Satcom system (my best guess here would be a double engine flame-out; they would be left to radio com and the aircraft had radio issues before departure).
