What are RPO and RTO?

How are they different?

Understanding RTO and RPO

• Recovery Point Objective• The amount of data that you will loose

if you need to restore from a backup

Understanding RTO and RPO

• Recovery Point Objective• The amount of data that you will loose

if you need to restore from a backup

• Recovery Time Objective• The amount of time it will take to

restore your application and reload

data so that users can access it.

The lower the RPO/RTO the more $’s

Understanding RTO and RPO

• Recovery Point Objective• The amount of data that you will loose

if you need to restore from a backup

• Recovery Time Objective• The amount of time it will take to

restore your application and reload

data so that users can access it.

Understanding RTO and RPO

• Recovery Point Objective• Reduced by decreasing the time

between data protection events.

Traditionally not achievable by

backups

• Recovery Time Objective• Reduced by having rapid access to a

recent copy of data. Typically data

can’t be in a backup format and must

be accessed “in-place”.

Low RTO and RPO can be Expensive

• Recovery Point Objective• Reduced by decreasing the time

between data protection events

• Traditionally not achievable by

backups, typically snapshots

• Recovery Time Objective• Reduced by having rapid access to a

recent copy of data.

• Data can’t be in a backup format and

must be accessed “in-place”.

• Traditionally a cluster or standby

server

Virtualization Has Changed Backups

The Changed Block Backup Challenge

Legacy: Once a night

sequential data copy

Virtualization Can Drive Down Costs

• Recovery Point Objective• CBT Tracking allows for more

frequent backups

• Recovery Time Objective• Recovery can happen directly from

the backup server no data transfer

• Standby server can be virtual no

capital outlay

Changed Block Backup

Now: protection several times a

day, incremental update

Virtualization Has Changed Backups

Full Backup Without Data Transfer

Multiple incrementals of

VM’s can be

reconstituted in to a

new full backup

Software Defined Storage Can Drive

Down RPO and RTO

• Recovery Point Objective• Mirror and Replication become

affordable and provide continuous

protection.

• Recovery Time Objective• Recovery can happen directly from

the production storage, no data

transfer AND full performance

• Standby server can be virtual no

capital outlay

Use Both to Balance Availability and

Affordability

• Balanced Recovery Point Objective

and Balanced Recovery Time

Objective• All servers are not created equal

• Need protection from local corruption

• Need protection from site disaster

Balance Requires a Team

• No Single Solution can cover all

aspects of RTO and RPO

• Use Backup, Like Veeam *ALWAYS*

• Use Advanced Storage Software Like

StarWind to increase uptime and

meet strict RTO and RPOs

StarWind Virtual SAN Zeroing the RTO and RPO

• Zero hardware footprint

• Complete fault tolerance with just 2 servers

• No specialized staff required for management

What to do if RTO and RPO are very strict?

• Configure a live copy of the production data

• Guarantee redundancy of the infrastructure

• Use failover clustering techniques

• Configure HA storage access

• Configure fault tolerant VMs
