• Recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum acceptable duration permitted between an unfortunate loss or failure and the restoration of normal operations and services.

• According to the RTO, the systems, applications or operations must be restored within a targeted time period after a disaster, to avoid unacceptable outcomes of the disruption.
