DR Components

Recovery Objectives

  • RTO (Recovery Time Objective) - Maximum acceptable downtime
  • RPO (Recovery Point Objective) - Maximum acceptable data loss
  • RCO (Recovery Consistency Objective) - Data consistency requirements
  • RLO (Recovery Level Objective) - Granularity of recovery

DR Patterns

  • Backup and Restore - Lowest cost, highest RTO
  • Pilot Light - Minimal infrastructure, moderate RTO
  • Warm Standby - Scaled-down replica, lower RTO
  • Hot Standby/Multi-Site - Full replica, lowest RTO
