Process that involves evaluating the potential effects of disruption to an organization’s business functions and processes
Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
The acceptable amount of data that can not be recovered
Point in time at which data must be restored to continue normal operation
Maximum Tolerable Downtime (MTD)
The time to rebuild the system and configure it for reinsertion into production
Measures how long the system can be down
MTD >= RTO + WRT
Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
The amount of time to restore the system (hardware)
Target time in which a business must be restored to its normal operation to avoid negative consequences
Work Recovery Time (WRT)
How much time is required to configure a recovered system (software)
Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
The average time between failures
Mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
The average time required to repair a failed component or system
MTTR should be within the MTD range
Minimum Operating Requirement (MOR)
The minimum infrastructure required for our critical systems to function
