Are we talking about "whole system+application restart" or only "kernel
restart" ?
This also makes a big difference on what "recovery" means. I think this is
an essential piece in our understanding of mean time to recovery.
As a customer I want to know how long it will take for my critical
application to be up and running. This involves both system recovery time
and application recovery time.
