What is the difference between RTO, RPO, and MTPD?

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) defines how quickly a process must be restored after a disruption. RPO (Recovery Point Objective) defines how much data loss is acceptable, measured in time. MTPD (Maximum Tolerable Period of Disruption) defines the absolute maximum time a process can be unavailable before the impact becomes unacceptable to the organisation. In Acuna, all three are recorded per process and linked to the owning business unit. The platform flags inconsistencies — for example, an RPO that exceeds the MTPD — and compares targets against actual recovery capabilities during exercises.
