MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a sync job corrupts contact records overnight.
With an RPO of 24 hours and tested backups, the team restores the previous day's snapshot and re-runs the sync; without one, they manually rebuild weeks of lifecycle stage changes.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask vendors for documented RTO and RPO numbers and whether they are contractual or aspirational.
- Confirm backups cover configuration and credentials, not only raw data, and that restore is self-service or vendor-initiated.
- Request evidence of the last restore test, including date and scope, rather than a policy document alone.
Limitations and tradeoffs
DR commitments add cost and operational overhead; aggressive RTO and RPO targets typically require paid higher tiers or redundant deployments.
