Having copies of data does not mean an operation can be recovered within the timeframe required by the business.
Backup, RTO, and RPO are different
Backup preserves data. RTO defines how long a service may remain unavailable, while RPO establishes how much information the company can lose between copies.
“A copy without a tested recovery objective is only an expectation, not a continuity plan.”
Recovery must be proven
Periodic tests, mapped dependencies, and assigned owners turn stored files into a real recovery capability.
