A company is analyzing its disaster recovery requirements to maintain business operations. Which metric specifically indicates the maximum amount of time a business process can be offline after a disaster before the impact to business operations becomes detrimental?
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) measures the maximum acceptable downtime after a disaster before the impact on business operations becomes significant. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) instead specifies how much data loss, measured in time, is tolerable. Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is the average time to fix a failed component or system during normal operations, and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is a reliability metric indicating average operating time between breakdowns.
