Recovery Point Objective
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) describes a point in time to which data must be restored in order to be acceptable to the owner(s) of the processes supported by that data.
This is often thought of as the time between the last available backup and the time a disruption could potentially occurs. The RPO is established based on tolerance for loss of data or reentering of data.
The RPO in conjunction with the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the basis on which data protection strategy is developed.
