Exam SY0-701 topic 1 question 453 discussion

RPO-maximum acceptable amount of data loss. RTO-maximum acceptable downtime

The correct answer is: D. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) Explanation: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) refers to the maximum acceptable amount of time that IT systems can be offline after a disruption before it significantly impacts the business. It helps organizations define how quickly systems need to be restored to minimize downtime and business disruption. Other Options: A. Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Refers to the maximum amount of data loss acceptable in terms of time (e.g., last backup point), not how quickly systems must be restored. B. Risk Appetite: Represents the level of risk an organization is willing to accept and does not measure recovery time. C. Risk Tolerance: Refers to the acceptable deviation from the risk appetite but is not specific to system recovery. E. Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF): Measures the average time between system failures and is unrelated to recovery objectives.

A recovery time objective (RTO) is a time limit for how long a system, network, computer, or application can be down after a disaster or failure. RTOs are a key part of disaster recovery and data protection plans. They are based on the potential risks and impacts to a business, such as customer dissatisfaction, financial losses, regulatory compliance, and reputation damage.
