## Definition
RTO（Recovery Time Objective，恢复时间目标）是指系统允许的最大停机时间。是从系统下线到恢复上线的最大可接受时间窗口。

## Key Characteristics
- 衡量恢复速度，而非数据丢失
- 时钟从系统下线时刻开始计时
- 与业务影响直接相关
- 需要与 RPO 共同规划，不能只优化其中一个

## Tiered RTO Targets (from this source)
| Tier | Examples | RTO Target |
|------|----------|------------|
| Critical | Payment processing, user auth | < 5 minutes |
| Important | Admin dashboards, reporting | < 1 hour |
| Nice-to-have | Internal tools, dev environments | < 4 hours |
