  1. Assume there are 3 physical machines.
  2. Each physical machine has 10 disks.
  3. Each disk corresponds to one TiKV process.
  4. The reliability of a single disk is 95%.
  5. The reliability of the physical machine excluding the disks is 98%.

RTO and RPO are two important concepts in Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR), and they are also two critical metrics in the Service Level Agreement (SLA) of similar products.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) refers to the maximum duration of data that might be lost.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) refers to the maximum duration needed for the entire system to return to normal after a disaster occurs.
To put it simply, RPO is the time before the disaster, and RTO is the time after the disaster.

Refer to the above standards for calculation?

It also depends on how many replicas you have set. If you have set the number of replicas to 1, then if any disk fails, your cluster will go down.
