Which of the following must always be associated with an RPO?

At least one RP
A license agreement
A corporate shareholder
A government contract

The correct answer is: At least one RP

An RPO, or Recovery Point Objective, is a crucial concept in data backup and disaster recovery planning. It defines the maximum tolerable period during which data might be lost due to a major incident. The RPO essentially sets the expectation of how frequently data backups should occur to ensure minimal data loss. When considering RPO in the context of business continuity and disaster recovery, it must be paired with at least one recovery point (RP). This is because each RPO reflects a specific point in time from which data can be restored after an incident. A recovery point without an associated RPO would lack context regarding how recently the data was backed up or the acceptable data loss level, eliminating the effectiveness of the recovery strategy. The other options—license agreements, corporate shareholders, and government contracts—while they may be relevant in different business contexts, do not intrinsically connect to the RPO concept itself. They do not define or influence the backup frequency or the acceptable data loss framework that RPO entails. Hence, these options do not establish a necessary association with RPOs as recovery points do.
