Frequently Asked Questions
What is Disaster Recovery Planning?
Disaster Recovery Planning is the process of defining how systems, services and data will be restored following a disruptive event.
How is Disaster Recovery different from Business Continuity?
Disaster Recovery focuses on restoring technology systems and data, whereas Business Continuity encompasses the wider organisational response including people, processes and operations.
What are Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs)?
Recovery Time Objectives define how quickly a system or service must be restored following a disruption.
What are Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs)?
Recovery Point Objectives define the acceptable amount of data loss measured over time.
Should Disaster Recovery Plans be tested?
Yes. Recovery plans should be validated regularly through testing and simulation exercises to ensure they remain effective and achievable.
Can PiRho assess our current recovery capabilities?
Yes. PiRho can review existing recovery arrangements, identify gaps and provide recommendations for improving resilience and recoverability.
