RPO (Recovery Point Objective) Framework

Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is a key concept in disaster recovery and data management. It refers to the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. For example, if a business sets an RPO of 4 hours, it means they are willing to lose up to 4 hours' worth of data in the event of a failure. This helps organizations determine how often they should back up their data to minimize loss. Essentially, RPO helps businesses balance the risk of data loss against the cost and effort of data backup solutions.
