The Recovery Point Objective Report is similar to the Backup Data Location Report; however, this report has the extra benefit of being able to display the number of recovery points and location of your backup data for any specified day. This report is helpful for planning and demonstrating (if necessary) the speed and effectiveness of your recovery strategy.
Generally you can use this report to determine how fast you can restore data and how many recovery points (backups) you have taken.
For example, if within your company, Department A has backed up data that is critical or high-priority and would need to recover this data within minutes if necessary. Also, Department B may have different backed up data that is less critical and would need to recover within a day if necessary. Based on these needs, the Department A data would have to be replicated to enable almost immediate recovery, while Department B data could be backed up on a daily basis and stored on an on-site tape to satisfy the recovery requirements.
As a result, you can use this report to view the number of recovery points and locations of the stored data to determine if you have satisfied these various needs. You can then demonstrate to each department how you have met their individual requirements, or if necessary modify your backup strategy (by either changing the amount of recovery points/backups taken or change the backup method to allow a faster recovery of the stored data) to satisfy the various requirements.
