Definition: RTO


(Recovery Time Objective) The amount of time a computer system or application can stop functioning before it is considered intolerable to the enterprise.

The RTO is used to determine the types of backup and disaster recovery plans that should be implemented. See RPO, backup types and disaster recovery.
