SG0-001 · Question #379
Which of the following requirements is necessary to define a disaster recovery plan?
The correct answer is B. RPO/RTO. To define a disaster recovery plan, it is necessary to establish the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO), which dictate the acceptable data loss and downtime respectively.

Why each option
To define a disaster recovery plan, it is necessary to establish the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO), which dictate the acceptable data loss and downtime respectively.
Sync/Async refers to replication methods (synchronous/asynchronous), which are techniques used within a DR plan, not the fundamental objectives themselves.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) determines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss, while Recovery Time Objective (RTO) defines the maximum acceptable downtime after a disaster. These two metrics are crucial for designing a disaster recovery strategy, as they dictate the technologies and procedures required to meet business continuity needs.
HA (High Availability) and BC (Business Continuity) are broader concepts; BC is the overarching goal of DR, and HA is a strategy to achieve high uptime, but RPO/RTO are the specific measurable requirements that define the DR plan.
LAN/WAN refers to network types, which are infrastructure components but not the core requirements for defining a disaster recovery plan's objectives.
