A financial services firm processes customer transactions 24/7. The compliance team requires that no more than 15 minutes of transaction data can be lost in a disaster, and the system must be fully operational within 4 hours of a declared disaster. The current nightly full backup takes 6 hours to restore. Which combination of backup and recovery targets should the DR plan specify?

RPO = 15 minutes, RTO = 4 hours

RPO = 4 hours, RTO = 15 minutes
