3)      Retention Period
4)      Recovery Method

RPO: Recovery Point Objective
How much data you can afford to lose (Or how long it has been since you saved your data, the recovery point)

RTO: Recovery Time Objective 
It is the length of time you can afford to take to return to normal service.


Technologies can be used for RPO and RTO?

Asynchronous replication
Synchronous replication


Recovery Time (RTO)
Bare Metal Restore
Disk Restore
Tape Restore

Media Server: These servers had some form of storage attached either network storage, Physical storage or tape library. Media servers performs following tasks.
1)     Reading & writing  of data to and from Disk or Tape
2)     They combines clients data into GNU tar archive files called backup images.
Multiple Media Servers can be managed by one master server

Master Server:
Master server controls the backup and recovery activities for the client assigned to it.
Master server tracks which files is backup-ed using which media and media server by which backup policy.

Enterprise Media Manager:
Enterprise Master server is central data storage and number of services which manages and allocate resources for backup function its operation.
