You can't predict the future. Storms, hackers, software faults, and the all-too-common accident. Resilience means being ready for any of these events, because you can't avoid them all.

Backup and DRaaS: RTO and RPO example
Your systems are backed up every night at 7 p.m. You also are running a DR system with continuous replication. Disaster strikes! At 6 a.m., a power outage hits the building, taking down your data center. How do you recover?
DRaaS Scenario
- At 6:01 a.m., you press “Fail Over” on the DR solution.
- Within 4 minutes, at 6:05 a.m., the systems are back up in the cloud. The Recovery Time (RTO) is four minutes.
- The data is current as of 6:00 a.m.—when the power went out. So, your Recovery Point (RPO) is five minutes.
Backup Scenario
- At 6:01 a.m., you go find your backups.
- Then, you spend the next few hours finding, fixing, and re-starting your infrastructure (assuming your power is back on).
- At 5:00 p.m., a few of your major systems are back online. Your RTO on those systems is 11 hours.
- The systems are restored to the last backup time, which is 7 p.m. yesterday. So, your RPO on those few systems is 22 hours.
- The remaining systems take longer, and thus have much longer RTO & RPOs.
