Understanding RPO and RTO: How Much Can You Afford to Lose?
Two indicators define a company’s risk tolerance:
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO): the amount of data (days/hours/minutes) you can afford to lose without impacting operations.
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO): maximum acceptable time targets for restarting your IT systems.
For an SMB, losing even a single day’s business operations or critical data is often unacceptable. A company already well advanced in its digital transformation journey cannot afford to lose data.
This loss can often result in lost revenue, impact decision-making, or create major service interruptions. Yet, many SMBs lack both the processes and the technological tools necessary to ensure fast disaster recovery.
CIRA’s 2024 Cybersecurity Report states that only 43% of surveyed businesses have comprehensive disaster recovery strategies in place for a cyber incident. The majority of companies, therefore, either have basic disaster recovery (DR) plans in place or are in the process of creating them.

Concrete Impacts of a Disaster on SMBs: Data Loss, Business Paralysis
There are many ways in which small and medium-sized businesses can be affected by disasters. It could be a fire that destroys your offices and data center. In this case, without an outsourced backup solution in a secure cloud, recovery is uncertain — and often costly.
And the case of a fire is just one example among many. When it comes to ransomware attacks, the figures speak for themselves.
According to Get Cyber Safe, a Government of Canada site dedicated to cybersecurity, in 2024:
- 28% of Canadian businesses experienced a successful cyberattack, often resulting in a recovery time of nearly a month.
- 79% paid a ransom, often over $25,000.
CIRA’s 2024 Cybersecurity Report corroborates these statistics.
In addition to the costs involved, here are the most common impacts reported by small to medium-sized businesses that suffered a cyberattack or disaster in 2024.
- Prevented employees from doing their jobs
- Reputational damage
- Cost of repairs and services by IT providers
- Loss of revenue and customers
- Abandonment of a planned future project or activity
- Fines by regulators or authorities
- Ransom payments

Maximum Security with Datto SIRIS’s Immutable Architecture
Up to 4 Copies of Data: Production, Local, Primary and Secondary Clouds
- On the local Datto appliance (mini-PC or server),
- In a secure primary cloud, accessible at any time,
- In an immutable secondary cloud data center.
Even in the event of a cyberattack or accidental deletion, a complete copy of the data remains available.
Data Immutability, Protection Against Ransomware, and Intelligent Synchronization
Synchronization only concerns addition or modification.
Deletions are deliberately delayed to avoid errors or destructive attacks.
An on-board ransomware detection system further reinforces this protection.
A Secondary Cloud Inaccessible to Hackers: Restoration guaranteed
Only Datto system administrators have access to the secondary cloud.
The result: a virtually impenetrable barrier, data security with enhanced authentication, and guaranteed restoration at all times.
Resume Critical Operations Without Delay
Invoicing, CRM, and inventory management —your essential tools can be quickly relaunched, even from another site or a temporary workstation.
