Explanation
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) defines the maximum acceptable length of time that a business function or system can remain offline or disrupted before the impact becomes unacceptable. It sets the target window within which recovery must occur. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) defines the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time. MAO (Maximum Acceptable Outage) is a related but less commonly tested term. An SLA is a contractual agreement about service levels, not a recovery planning metric.
