What is RTO?

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the period an application, system, or process can be unavailable without significantly harming the company's operations, as well as the period required to restore the application and its data and resume regular business operations following a significant incident.

What is RPO?

The maximum amount of data that can be lost after recovering from a disaster, failure, or equivalent event before data loss exceeds what is acceptable to an organization and is known as the recovery point objective (RPO). This amount of data loss is quantified in terms of time.

How does the recovery point objective work?

High-priority applications frequently need tighter RPOs, which necessitates more frequent backups. In these circumstances, the IT staff must plan backup methods that can meet such RPOs, like the use of snapshots and replication together (also known as near-continuous data protection, or near-CDP).

To achieve nearly 100% availability for both applications and data, the team will integrate failover services with continuous replication or a continuous data protection system (CDP) when RPO is close to zero.

How do you calculate the recovery point objective?

RPOs can be established based on how often files are updated. This demonstrates that after a service interruption, your operations that have been restored still use the most recent version of your data. For instance, regularly changed files require a brief RPO of no more than a few minutes to ensure IT can resume operations after a disruptive incident with the least amount of data loss.

Factors that can affect RPOs include:

  • Maximum data loss that a particular company can tolerate
  • Factors related to the industry: Companies handling sensitive data, such as financial transactions or medical records, must update more often.
  • Speed of recovery may be impacted by data storage choices, like s physical files versus cloud storage.
  • The price of lost data and operations
  • Plans for compliance include measures for recovering from disasters, losing data, and having access to data that may damage organizations.
  • The price of putting catastrophe recovery systems in place

RPOs, once established, serve to specify the BCP's objectives, and each business unit should have a unique set of RPOs. For instance, lower RPOs are required for financial transactions and other mission-critical data activities than for less regularly updated files like personnel records.

What do you mean by Set & Forget Setup?

Our Disaster Recovery Plans use a set-and-forget approach. This way, you don't have to overstretch your limited resources to maintain the policy and plan we have set.
