Recovery Time Objective (RTO) measures the maximum acceptable time an application or a network service can be offline after a disaster before significant harm is done to the business. It is key in setting acceptable downtime limits and planning recovery strategies. An RTO does not refer to the frequency of data backups, the overall goal of a disaster recovery plan, or specifically how to make a system operational again, but rather the duration of time within a service level that must be met post-disruption.
