Example text

If the server failed at the beginning of the day, you have lost relatively little data. If a server fails at the end of the day, you’ve lost an entire business day’s worth of data. Averaging this out, we should assume that a server will always fail at the midpoint of the day, and since your last backup was yesterday evening, your company should plan to lose half of a business day’s worth of data. That is the optimistic view. Anyone who deals in data protection and recovery should be able to channel their pessimistic side and will recall that tape media is not always considered reliable.

We will cover those considerations and other specifics related to disk versus tape versus cloud in Chapter 3, but for now the key takeaway is to plan how you want to recover, not how you want to be protected. As an example, think about how you travel. When you decide to go on a trip, you likely decide where you want to go before you decide how to get there. If how you will recover your data is based on how you back up, it is like deciding that you’ll vacation based on where the road ends — literally, jumping in the car and seeing where the road takes you.

If we take the average of these two extremes, we can presume that the server will always fail at noon—halfway into the business day. Statistically speaking, this means that companies that use tape backup will lose half of a day’s worth of data on average. To learn the whole story when looking at RPO, it is the “O” that is most important. RPO is an objective (or goal). It specifies how much data you are willing to lose. In nightly tape backup, the statistical probability is that you will lose a half day of data.
