A. B. C. D.

A.

The recovery service level (RSL) measures the percentage of operations that would be recovered during a BCDR situation.

The recovery point objective (RPO) sets and defines the amount of data an organization must have available or accessible to reach the determined level of operations necessary during a BCDR situation.

The recovery time objective (RTO) measures the amount of time necessary to recover operations to meet the BCDR plan.

SRE is provided as an erroneous response.

The correct answer is A. RSL (Recovery Service Level).

BCDR (Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery) strategies are put in place to ensure the continuity of critical business operations in the event of a disaster or disruption. It is not always possible or necessary to recover all services at the same time or with the same level of priority.

Recovery Service Level (RSL) is a concept that pertains to the amount of services that need to be recovered to meet BCDR objectives. RSL defines the minimum level of service that must be restored to meet the organization's recovery objectives. This is typically defined in terms of specific services or systems that are critical to the organization's operations.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) are other key concepts in BCDR planning. RTO refers to the maximum amount of time that it should take to restore a service after a disruption. RPO refers to the maximum amount of data loss that is acceptable after a disruption.

SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) is a discipline that involves designing and operating reliable systems at scale. While SRE principles can be applied to BCDR planning, it is not directly related to the concept of RSL.
