Two parameters that play an important role in disaster recovery are Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Both this parameter form the basis of an organisation`s disaster recovery and business continuity plans including how the system administrators plan the backup processes, frequency of the backup, the recovery time limits and recovery procedures. Though similar these parameters are largely different. There are other metrics too such as a recovery point actual or recovery point objective which can only be determined during a real-life scenario or a DR drill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more Continue reading-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-normal-font-size\"><br>RPO is defined as the maximum tolerable amount of data that can be lost after the recovery of data from a system failure or an equivalent event that is acceptable to the organisation. In case of an RPO of 60 minutes, the IT infrastructure must be set up to back up the organisation data every 60 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify has-normal-font-size\"><br>RTO is defined as the metric which would determine the amount of time it would take to recover your infrastructure after a disaster or a failure that is acceptable to the organisation. For instance, if you set up the RTO to be 4 hours, then within this timeframe your business operations must normalise as per the business continuity and disaster recovery plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
