Explanation:
The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the point in time to which you must recover data as defined by your organization. This 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
data must be restored to within 2 hours of the disaster.
A recovery point objective, or “RPO”, is defined by business continuity planning. It is the maximum targeted period in which data might be lost from an IT service due to a major incident.
