	Disaster Recovery &Business Continuance Business continuance ensures availability of the functions that are critical to the day-to-day business environment in the event of a natural disaster, hardware failure, or application failure. Whereas disaster recovery is a reactive plan to resume IT operations after a failure, business continuance is a proactive plan to maintain the business operations despite planned or unplanned outages. The recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum allowable downtime after an outage for recovering systems, applications, and functionality. RTO provides the basis for developing cost-effective recovery strategies and for determining when and how to implement these recovery strategies during a disaster situation. The recovery point defines how current or fresh the data is after a disaster. The recovery point objective (RPO) is the earlier point in time to which systems and data must be recovered after an outage. RPO defines the maximum amount of data that an organization is willing to sacrifice after a disaster. Together, RTO and RPO provide a measurable target to be achieved by a business continuance and disaster recovery solution.
