Explanation:
The recovery point objective (RPO) is based on the acceptable data loss in the case of a disruption. In this scenario the organization needs a short RPO. Virtual tape libraries, disk- based snapshots and disk-to-tape backup would require time to complete the backup, while continuous data backup happens online (in real time).
