Estimation of recovery time, validation of recoverability, and decision support using recovery metrics, targets, and objectives
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- a computer estimating a recovery time for recovery of at least one asset responsive to at least one metric represented in metric data accumulated prior to the estimating;
the computer reporting the estimated recovery time to a user;
the computer selecting one of a plurality of methods to calculate one or more recovery metrics, each of the plurality of methods having a different level of accuracy;
the computer calculating the one or more recovery metrics responsive to the selected method; and
the computer reporting the one or more recovery metrics to the user.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a method is provided and a computer accessible medium comprising instructions which, when executed, implement the method is also provided. A recovery time for recovery of at least one asset is estimated responsive to at least one metric represented in metric data. The metric data is accumulated prior to the estimation. In various embodiments, data protection operations may include one or more of asset copy operations, recovery operations, etc. The estimated recovery time may be reported to a user. In other embodiments, metric data may be used to validate recoverability. In still other embodiments, recovery metrics may be calculated and displayed to the user along with corresponding recovery targets and objectives.
