Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between RTO and RPO?

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is the maximum acceptable time to restore service after a disaster. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time before the incident.

Why do RTO and RPO matter for business continuity?

RTO and RPO directly impact business continuity costs. Longer RTO means more downtime and revenue loss. Longer RPO means more data loss and recovery costs.

What are good RTO and RPO targets?

Targets depend on business criticality. Critical systems: RTO <1 hour, RPO <15 minutes. Important systems: RTO <4 hours, RPO <1 hour. Standard systems: RTO <24 hours, RPO <4 hours.

How do I reduce my RTO and RPO?

Improve infrastructure redundancy, implement automated failover, use real-time replication, optimize backup strategies, and invest in disaster recovery testing and training.

What's the cost of achieving lower RTO/RPO?

Lower RTO/RPO requires more investment in infrastructure, redundancy, and technology. The cost increases exponentially as targets get more aggressive, but so does business protection.
