The correct answer is Recovery Time Objective (RTO). RTO is a critical metric in disaster recovery (DR) and business continuity (BC) planning. It defines the target time within which a business process must be restored after a disaster to avoid unacceptable consequences associated with a break in business continuity. It is essentially the maximum acceptable length of time that a computer, system, network, or application can be down after a failure or disaster occurs. An RTO is set by business continuity planners to ensure that the DR and BC solutions are designed to meet the specific time constraints of the organization.
