Having a Disaster Recovery Plan in place in this day in age is not an option for the majority of businesses. Business Continuity is increasingly becoming a necessity as businesses become more reliant on their IT systems to deliver their core business applications and store their data. Gartner estimates 40 percent of businesses that lose their data in a disaster go out of business within 5 years.

IT Disaster Recovery Principles

A recovery time objective (RTO) refers to the maximum length of time that a system can be down after a failure or disaster occurs before the company is negatively impacted by the downtime.

A recovery point objective (RPO) specifies a point in time that data must be recovered and backed up. The RPO determines the minimum frequency and at which intervals backups need to occur, whether every hour or every 5 minutes.
