Which metric in a disaster recovery plan is crucial to determine the acceptable downtime for critical systems before significant operational impact occurs?
The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is specifically concerned with the maximum allowable downtime after a disruption, which helps organizations in strategic planning to ensure critical systems are quickly restored to minimize operational impact. It does not measure the amount of data at risk (covered by RPO), nor the general operational time between system failures (covered by MTBF), or the time needed to repair a system (covered by MTTR).
