RPO
April 8, 2025
RPO is a strategic metric in business continuity and disaster recovery planning that quantifies the maximum allowable data loss, expressed in terms of time, that an organization can tolerate following a disruptive event. It determines the frequency and granularity of data backups and the design of data replication and recovery mechanisms. Achieving the defined RPO involves implementing robust data protection strategies, such as continuous data replication, snapshot technologies, and real-time data synchronization, to ensure that data can be recovered to a point as close as possible to the time of the disruption.
