OBJECTIVES
Recovery point objective (acceptable lost work):
Recovery time objective (time until the defined service works):
Acceptance test that demonstrates useful service:
Recovery point selected and why it is suitable:
Required application, identity, network and configuration dependencies:
Responsible custodian for recovery credentials (never record secrets here):

TIMESTAMPS AND EVIDENCE
Simulated outage begins:
Latest usable recovered transaction/file timestamp:
Restore begins:
Service passes its acceptance test:
Observed data gap:
Observed recovery time:
File, permission and application checks performed:
Log locations and unresolved errors:

FICTIONAL EXAMPLE
Outage: 14:17. Latest recovered transaction: 14:10. Service ready: 14:42.
Data gap: 7 minutes. Recovery time: 25 minutes.
With a 5-minute RPO and 30-minute RTO, the data goal fails and time goal passes.
