What Are Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs)?
RPOs specify the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. For example, an RPO of 24 hours means that the business can tolerate losing up to 24 hours of data.
RTOs refer to the maximum acceptable downtime after a disruption before the business operations must be restored. Together, RPOs and RTOs help businesses create effective disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
