Disaster Recovery White Papers

Linking Disaster Recovery Time Objectives to Business and Compliance Requirements

Overview Too often, disaster recovery objectives focus on systems rather than business needs. This paper provides guidelines for basing recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives on real-world business processes. IT disaster recovery managers often base Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) on system requirements rather than business needs. What is needed is a process that links RTOs and RPOs to critical business processes.
