The recovery point objective (RPO) requires which of the following? 

Answer options:

A. Disaster declaration
B. Before-image restoration
C. System restoration
D. After-image processing

B

The recovery point objective (RPO) is the point in the processing flow at which system recovery should occur. This is the predetermined state of the application processing and data used to restore the system and to continue the processing flow. Disaster declaration is independent of this processing checkpoint. Restoration of the system can occur at a later date, as does the return to normal, after-image processing.
