Management has set the recovery time objective (RTO) to 24 hours for Joe's process. What does this mean?

  1. Joe's people must be in the office performing the process 24 hours after a disaster or disruption.
  2. Joe has 24 hour to decide what to do in event of an emergency.
  3. No more than 24 hours of data can be lost.
  4. All data related to the process must be recovered within 24 hours.
  5. Joe's process must be restored after 24 hours.
Explanation

Answer: E - Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the period of time within which a business process must be restored following a disaster. A is a bit of a curveball as it is not required that Joe's people be performing the process. It could be that in event of an emergency, the process would be outsourced to another vendor or partner company.

Key takeaways: With RTO, it doesn't matter how you do it. What matters is that it gets done. Especially in planning for activities where an entire site is unavailable, outsourcing or using another team to assume an activity can be significantly more effective.

Incorrectly stated, Joe's process must be restored after 24 hours. it should state within 24hours that would make E the correct answer. i would have selected E without a thought if it dint say AFTER 24hours. Please fix it
