Recovery objectives


Objective
Definition
Time
Description
1. Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
Defines the maximum tolerable time limit within which the service must be restored to minimum acceptable conditions. If a disaster occurs and the service must be available immediately, the RTO is zero. However, if one hour of total service interruption is tolerated, the RTO is one hour.
15 minutes
The platform is classified as critical so the backups are maintained on a permanent basis. The total restoration of a backup is done in 15 minutes, so this is the time it takes for the recovery.
2. Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
Defines the maximum tolerable data loss that can be accepted in a disaster situation. For example, if a disaster occurs and the backup of the information is weekly, it means that after recovering the service the data from one week before the incident will be available, the RPO is one week. If the backup is on-line and there is no acceptable data loss, the RPO is zero.
0 minutes
Considering that there are backups generated per second, the recovery target has 0.
3. Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption (MTPD)
Defines the maximum time in which the service must operate normally before generating losses that cannot be assumed
1 month
The relationship between monthly operating costs and revenues is almost the same, so if the service is stopped completely for more than 1 month, the losses generated can be unsustainable.


Impact over time

A service interruption can occur at any time; however, if it occurs at a certain point in time, the severity of the interruption may be greater. For this purpose, the impact of an interruption on the function at different moments in time will be analyzed.
