Pure Storage

RTO is the service level defining how long a recovery may take before unacceptable levels of damage occur from an outage. Meanwhile, RPO is the service level defining the point in time when data loss resulting from an outage becomes unacceptable. Cost: Backups cost money. Both represent critical points of failure.

The use of cloud services in backup is growing.
