CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 196

During an annual review of policy documents, a company decided to adjust its recovery time frames. The company agreed that critical applications can be down for no more than six hours, and the acceptable amount of data loss is no more than two hours. Which of the following should be documented as the RPO?

Answer options

• A. Two hours
• B. Four hours
• C. Six hours
• D. Eight hours

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is defined as the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. Since the company has agreed that the acceptable data loss is no more than two hours, the RPO is therefore two hours. The other options represent incorrect values for data loss tolerance.
