4. What is the difference between RTO and RPO in disaster recovery?
When it comes to disaster recovery, understanding its two key metrics, Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO), is crucial for managing downtime and data loss.
RTO: Refers to the maximum time allowed to restore a system after an outage, defining how quickly your business can get back up and running.
RPO: Quantifies the maximum amount of data you can afford to lose before it negatively impacts your business, determining how often you should back up your data.

5. What are the main components of AIMS' Disaster Recovery Plan?
The main components of AIMS' disaster recovery plan are designed to ensure effective recovery and continuity of business operations in the event of a disruption. Here are the key elements:
- Risk Assessment and Business Impact Analysis (BIA): We conduct thorough assessments to identify potential risks and vulnerabilities that could impact business operations. The BIA evaluates the potential consequences of disruptions, helping prioritise recovery efforts.
- Recovery Objectives: Clear Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) are established. RTO defines the maximum acceptable downtime, while RPO indicates the maximum allowable data loss, guiding the recovery strategies.
- Backup and Data Protection: We implement comprehensive backup strategies, including regular on-site and off-site backups of critical data to ensure data integrity and minimise recovery time.
- Recovery Strategies: The plan outlines specific recovery strategies tailored to different scenarios, such as utilising hot sites, cold sites, or cloud-based solutions for efficient restoration of services.
- Communication Plan: Communication protocols are established to ensure that all stakeholders are informed during a disaster. This includes internal notifications and updates to customers and partners.
- Testing and Validation: Regular testing of the disaster recovery plan is conducted to identify weaknesses and ensure that all team members understand their roles in the recovery process.
- Documentation: Comprehensive documentation of procedures, workflows, and configurations is maintained to ensure quick reference during an incident.
- Ongoing Review and Improvement: AIMS continuously reviews and updates the disaster recovery plan to adapt to changes in technology, business processes, and emerging threats.
These components work together to create a robust disaster recovery framework that helps our clients maintain operational continuity during unexpected events.
