Dell EMC Associate – Backup and Recovery Solutions Design v2 — Question 13

What are the considerations when designing a disaster recovery plan based on RTO and RPO?

Answer options

• A. Lower RTO and RPO have no effect on cost
• B. Lower RTO and RPO simplify the solution
• C. Lower RTO and RPO decrease the cost
• D. Lower RTO and RPO increase the cost

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because lower RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) typically require more resources and investments in technology, which results in higher costs. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they misrepresent the relationship between RTO/RPO and associated costs.
