# Decide recovery objectives, backup retention, and restore scope

Type: grilling
Status: open

## Question

For the initial SaaS service, decide measurable RPO/RTO targets, backup and
restore-drill frequency, retention and deletion-in-backups policy, off-host
copy/failure-domain requirements, logical export versus physical base-backup
and continuous-WAL/PITR coverage, encryption and key custody, operator ownership,
and whether the supported promise is full-service disaster recovery only or
also Organization-selective export/restore. Record compliance-dependent items
as explicit OPEN inputs rather than inventing defaults.
