Which of the following describes the acceptable amount of data loss measured in time?

A.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

B.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO)

C.
Recovery Consistency Objective (RCO)

D.
Recovery Time Actual (RTA)

Explanation:
The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) describes the acceptable amount of data loss
measured in time. It is the point in time to which data must be recovered as defined by the
organization. The RPO is generally a definition of what an organization determines is an
“acceptable loss” in a disaster situation. If the RPO of a company is 2 hours and the time it takes
to get the data back into production is 5 hours, the RPO is still 2 hours. Based on this RPO the
Objective (RTO) is the duration of time and a service level within which a business process must
be restored after a disaster or disruption in order to avoid unacceptable consequences associated
with a break in business continuity. It includes the time for trying to fix the problem without a
recovery, the recovery itself, tests and the communication to the users. Decision time for user
representative is not included. The business continuity timeline usually runs parallel with an
incident management timeline and may start at the same, or different, points. In accepted
business continuity planning methodology, the RTO is established during the Business Impact
Analysis (BIA) by the owner of a process (usually in conjunction with the Business Continuity
planner). The RTOs are then presented to senior management for acceptance. The RTO attaches
incorrect. The Recovery Time Actual (RTA) is established during an exercise, actual event, or
predetermined based on recovery methodology the technology support team develops. This is the
time frame the technology support takes to deliver the recovered infrastructure to the business.
Planning in addition to Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). It
applies data consistency objectives to Continuous Data Protection services.
