A clerk of courts sets a recovery point objective of 15 minutes for the case-management database. What must backup or replication scheduling primarily satisfy?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
RPO is about how much recent work you can afford to lose—like how far back the camera rewind goes—not how fast the firetruck arrives. A 15-minute RPO means copies must land at least that often.
Full Explanation
Recovery Point Objective defines the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time. Meeting a 15-minute RPO requires backup, snapshot, or replication frequency that keeps the potential gap at or below that window. Restore speed relates to RTO; infrequent nightly or weekly jobs cannot alone satisfy a tight RPO.
