9. What are RPO and RTO?
How are they different?

10. Understanding RTO and RPO
• Recovery Point Objective
• The amount of data that you will loose
if you need to restore from a backup

11. Understanding RTO and RPO
• Recovery Point Objective
• The amount of data that you will loose
if you need to restore from a backup
• Recovery Time Objective
• The amount of time it will take to
restore your application and reload
data so that users can access it.
The lower the RPO/RTO the more $’s

12. Understanding RTO and RPO
• Recovery Point Objective
• The amount of data that you will loose
if you need to restore from a backup
• Recovery Time Objective
• The amount of time it will take to
restore your application and reload
data so that users can access it.

13. Understanding RTO and RPO
• Recovery Point Objective
• Reduced by decreasing the time
between data protection events.
Traditionally not achievable by
backups
• Recovery Time Objective
• Reduced by having rapid access to a
recent copy of data. Typically data
can’t be in a backup format and must
be accessed “in-place”.

14. Low RTO and RPO can be Expensive
• Recovery Point Objective
• Reduced by decreasing the time
between data protection events
• Traditionally not achievable by
backups, typically snapshots
• Recovery Time Objective
• Reduced by having rapid access to a
recent copy of data.
• Data can’t be in a backup format and
must be accessed “in-place”.
• Traditionally a cluster or standby
server

15. Virtualization Has Changed Backups
The Changed Block Backup Challenge
Legacy: Once a night
sequential data copy

16. Virtualization Can Drive Down Costs
• Recovery Point Objective
• CBT Tracking allows for more
frequent backups
• Recovery Time Objective
• Recovery can happen directly from
the backup server no data transfer
• Standby server can be virtual no
capital outlay

17. Virtualization Can Drive Down Costs
• Recovery Point Objective
• Reduced by decreasing the time
between data protection events
• Traditionally not achievable by
backups, typically snapshots
• Recovery Time Objective
• Reduced by having rapid access to a
recent copy of data.
• Data can’t be in a backup format and
must be accessed “in-place”.
• Traditionally a cluster or standby
server

18. Virtualization Has Changed Backups
Changed Block Backup
Now: protection several times a
day, incremental update

19. Virtualization Has Changed Backups
Full Backup Without Data Transfer
Multiple incrementals of
VM’s can be
reconstituted in to a
new full backup

24. Software Defined Storage Can Drive
Down RPO and RTO
• Recovery Point Objective
• Mirror and Replication become
affordable and provide continuous
protection.
• Recovery Time Objective
• Recovery can happen directly from
the production storage, no data
transfer AND full performance
• Standby server can be virtual no
capital outlay

26. Use Both to Balance Availability and
Affordability
• Balanced Recovery Point Objective
and Balanced Recovery Time
Objective
• All servers are not created equal
• Need protection from local corruption
• Need protection from site disaster

27. Balance Requires a Team
• No Single Solution can cover all
aspects of RTO and RPO
• Use Backup, Like Veeam *ALWAYS*
• Use Advanced Storage Software Like
StarWind to increase uptime and
meet strict RTO and RPOs

32. StarWind Virtual SAN
Zeroing the RTO and RPO
• Zero hardware footprint
• Complete fault tolerance with just 2 servers
• No specialized staff required for management

33. What to do if RTO and RPO are very strict?
• Configure a live copy of the production data
• Guarantee redundancy of the infrastructure
• Use failover clustering techniques
• Configure HA storage access
• Configure fault tolerant VMs
