Backup & geo-restore commitments

[VitalyMCT]

There are two fundamental DR-related questions which do not seem to be covered on this page:

1) What's the RTO for geo-restores? 2) What's the geo-backup retention period? Can it be customized?

Please provide clarity on these important points. Thank you.
