A DR document states minutes and megabytes. Replication architecture delivers a convergence time, a single-copy window and a failed tail. This guide maps what actually decides your RTO and RPO.
RTO and RPO are measurable recovery objectives, not labels on an architecture diagram. Build a failure matrix and test the complete recovery path.
A successful source PUT does not establish a recoverable peer copy. Separate MinIO site-replication acknowledgment, persisted retry state and catch-up capacity before committing to an RTO or RPO.
