In disaster recovery planning, what does Recovery Time Objective measure?

Recovery Time Objective Recovery Time Onset Response Time Objective Recovery Time Offset

Correct Answer:

Recovery Time Objective

Explanation:

RTO measures the maximum amount of downtime a business can tolerate for a given process after a disruption. It sets the target time by which operations must be restored to an acceptable level, guiding what resilience and recovery steps are needed, what resources to have, and how to test the plan. This value is determined during a business impact analysis and is usually considered alongside the Recovery Point Objective, which defines how much data loss is acceptable. It’s about how long operations can be down, not about when an incident is detected, nor about data loss or any timing offsets.
