CompTIA Security+ Question C-91

Which of the following defines a business goal for system restoration and acceptable data loss?

A. MTTR
B. MTBF
C. RPO
D. Warm site

Answer: C

Explanation:
The recovery point objective (RPO) defines the point at which the system needs to be restored. This could be where the system was two days before it crashed (whip out the old backup tapes) or five minutes before it crashed (requiring complete redundancy). This is an essential business goal insofar as system restoration and acceptable data loss is concerned.
