MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failures. It is a reliability metric that predicts the average time between system breakdowns or failures. A higher MTBF indicates a more reliable system that is likely to operate longer without issues, which is pivotal for business continuity and planning. It is calculated based on historical data and includes only operational periods between failures, not the time required for repair or maintenance.
