CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 157

A server administrator is gathering business requirements to determine how frequently backups need to be performed on an application server. Which of the following is the administrator attempting to establish?

Answer options

• A. MTBF
• B. RPO
• C. MTTR
• D. RFC

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is RPO (Recovery Point Objective), which defines the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and MTTR (Mean Time To Repair) are related to system reliability and downtime, while RFC (Request for Comments) pertains to standards and protocols, making them irrelevant to backup frequency.
