Short answer
Not by default. FirstNet designs its backup and disaster recovery services to your recovery targets, but these depend on your workloads, bandwidth, change rate and dependencies, so firm RTO and RPO commitments apply only when they are explicitly contracted after scoping and testing.
In detail
The recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum downtime you can accept. The recovery point objective (RPO) is the maximum data loss you can accept, measured back from the moment of failure. In FirstNet's design process:
- RPO drives backup or replication frequency and the bandwidth you need
- RTO drives reserved capacity sizing and the order in which systems start
- Application criticality sets the protection tier, for example gold, silver or bronze
- Dependencies such as DNS, Active Directory and third-party links affect when a service is truly usable
FirstNet runs DR readiness workshops to quantify risk, define RTO and RPO per system and plan failover tests. Scheduled testing then shows whether the targets are achievable in practice. If you need contractual commitments, raise them early so they can be validated through dependency mapping and testing before they are written into your agreement.
