Dell EMC Associate – Backup and Recovery Solutions Design v2 — Question 25

Which key metric should be used when updating the corporate disaster recovery plan to minimize data loss?

Answer options

• A. MTTR
• B. MTBF
• C. RPO
• D. RTO

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is RPO (Recovery Point Objective), as it indicates the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) and MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) are more focused on system performance and reliability, while RTO (Recovery Time Objective) pertains to how quickly systems need to be restored, rather than the data loss aspect.
