When reviewing the disaster recovery plan for two data centers, you find that:
The copy of data at remote Site B will lag behind the production data at Site A by 5 minutes
It will take 2 hours after an outage at Site A to shift production to Site B.
Three more hours will be needed to power up the servers, bring up the network, and redirect
users to Site B.
What is the recovery point objective (RPO) of this plan?

A.
5 minutes

B.
2 hours

C.
5 hours

D.
5 hours 5 minutes

Explanation:

BC Terminologies

Recovery-Point Objective (RPO): This is the point-in-time to which systems and data must be
recovered after an outage. It defines the amount of data loss that a business can endure.
Based on the RPO, organizations plan for the frequency with which a backup or replica must be
made. An organization can plan for an appropriate BC technology solution on the basis of the
RPO it sets.
RPO of 24 hours: Backups are created at an offsite tape library every midnight. The corresponding
recovery strategy is to restore data from the set of last backup tapes.
RPO of 1 hour: Shipping database logs to the remote site every hour. The corresponding recovery
strategy is to recover the database to the point of the last log shipment.
RPO in the order of minutes: Mirroring data asynchronously to a remote site.
RPO of zero: Mirroring data synchronously to a remote site.
Recovery-Time Objective (RTO): The time within which syste
Recovery-Time Objective (RTO): The time within which systems and applications must be
recovered after an outage. It defines the amount of downtime that a business can endure and
survive.
