Application backup - Recovery Point Objective

A Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the time interval in which you can recover data in the event of a failure, such as data corruption, a ransomware attack, a power outage, user error, and so on.

For example, if you have an RPO of 15 minutes for your applications, you could lose up to 15 minutes of data, as the last automated backup was constructed within the last 15 minutes. With ThinkAgile CP, you can select which applications to protect and define the RPO for each. You can choose a backup interval from 15 minutes to 24 hours.
