VerifiedData Recovery Strategies

Richard was cautious and backed up his organization’s data every day at 8:00 pm. One day, a fire in his office building at 9:00 am destroyed servers containing critical data. Richard’s organization would need about 8 hours to transfer the backed-up data from the alternate site to the primary site. Based on the most recent data backup, the recovery time in this situation is ‘minus 13 hours.’ What technical term best defines this 13-hour time period?

Explanation

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) measures the maximum acceptable data loss in time. The interval from the last 8:00 pm backup to the 9:00 am destruction event is 13 hours of data that may be unrecoverable. The 8-hour transfer duration instead concerns recovery time (RTO).
