When recovering from an outage, what is the Recovery Point Objective (RPO), in terms of data recovery?

Question

Options

• AThe RPO is the maximum amount of time for which loss of data is acceptable.
• BThe RPO is the minimum amount of data that needs to be recovered.
• CThe RPO is a goal to recover a targeted percentage of data lost.
• DThe RPO is the amount of time it takes to recover an acceptable percentage of data lost.

• A
  93% (25)
• B
  4% (1)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is a metric that defines the amount of data that can be lost or not recovered in the event of a disaster or an outage. It is measured in terms of time, such as hours or days, and represents the point in time to which the data must be restored to resume normal operations. For example, if the RPO is 24 hours, then the backup data must be no older than 24 hours, and the maximum data loss is 24 hours worth of data. The RPO is determined by the business impact analysis (BIA) and the risk assessment, and it depends on the criticality and value of the data.
