Nancy wants to adopt a backup strategy that will meet her organization's desires about the amount of data that could be lost in a scenario where a restoration from backup was required and also wants to establish guidelines for how long a restoration should take. What two key objectives should she set?

Answer Options

A

An RPO and an RTO

B

An RFBT and an RPO

C

An RPO and an MTBF

D

An MTBF and an RFBT

Correct Answer: A

Explanation

Organizations set recovery point objectives (RPOs) which describe how much data is acceptable to lose in a data loss event, and recovery time objectives (RTOs), which describe the maximum amount of time that it should take to recover data. Together these two objectives help guide backup strategy and infrastructure design and implementation. MTBF (mean time before failure) describes the mean time before a device like a hard drive, power supply, or network switch will fail, typically described in hours of powered-on operation. RFBT was made up for this question.
