CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 278

An organization is interested in purchasing a backup solution that supports the organization's goals. Which of the following concepts would specify the maximum duration that a given service can be down before impacting operations?

Answer options

• A. MTTR
• B. RTO
• C. MTBF
• D. RPO

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, RTO (Recovery Time Objective), which indicates the maximum acceptable downtime for a service before it negatively influences operations. MTTR (A) refers to the average time to repair a system, MTBF (C) is the average time between failures, and RPO (D) focuses on the maximum data loss acceptable during a disaster, none of which directly address the downtime impact on operations.
