The RTO is a measure of the users tolerance to downtime. In case of critical systems, generally RTO is zero or near to zero. Low RTO indicates that system should be resumed at the earliest. For example, if RTO is 2 hours, system should be resumed within 2 hours and if RTO is 72 hours, system should be resumed within 72 hours. Thus, in case of critical system generally RTO is kept low to ensure immediate resumption of services.
