Too often, disaster recovery objectives focus on systems rather than business needs. This paper provides guidelines for basing recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives on real-world business processes. IT disaster recovery managers often base Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) on system requirements rather than business needs. What is needed is a process that links RTOs and RPOs to critical business processes.
