Exam DISC-RM Practice Question 8

Study guide: Exam DISC-RM

A claims department backs up its claim files every night at midnight. Its business continuity plan restores the claims system at a warm site within 20 hours, against a recovery time objective (RTO) of 24 hours, and its business impact analysis sets a recovery point objective (RPO) of 2 hours. Which statement best describes the plan?

  • A) It meets both objectives, because the system is restored in less than 24 hours.
  • B) It meets the RPO but not the RTO, because a warm site cannot restore a system within a day.
  • C) It meets the RTO but not the RPO: a failure late in the day could lose nearly a day of data.
  • D) It meets neither objective, because nightly backups also slow the restoration down.
