The recovery time objective (RTO) is determined based on the acceptable downtime or target time in case of a disruption of business operations and systems. The RTO indicates the earliest point in time that business operations and IT systems should recover and resume after disaster. RTOs are measured when the business resumes use, not when IT restores systems. Multiple RTOs may exist. RTO impacts the technology used to make applications/IT systems available and the recovery site options (e.g., warm site, hot site, clusters).
