We can determine the RTO for Business Unit Backlog through Business Impact Analysis (BIA). The results of the BIA in its entirety provide the basis for identifying and analyzing viable strategies for inclusion in the business continuity plan. Viable strategy options would include any which would enable resumption of a business process in a time frame at or near the RTO. This would include alternate or manual workaround procedures and would not necessarily require computer systems to meet the RTOs.

• This can include recovery time objectives (RTO) and the maximum acceptable outages (MAO).

• Both maximum acceptable outages and recovery time objectives will need to be approved by senior management.

• To inform the time frames, the organization should agree on impact criteria and then analyze the functions against these criteria. Financial impact estimates can be recorded and used to inform your insurance program.

Thank you for our cooperation

I am doing the BIA for the business unit’s financial and non-financial impact,

 And I can determine the RTO and The MTPD no issue. The issue with some

 Department or business unit is they don’t have financial nor non-financial impact

They have backlog problem when the disruption happened, how we can major the RTO for this- Kind of Business units?
