Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) — Question 327

An engineer must perform a backup and restore in Cisco UCS to rebuild the system in a disaster recovery scenario. The backup file must be encrypted to prevent the passwords from being stored as cleartext. Which backup configuration meets these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Full state backup over TFTP
• B. Logical configuration backup over SCP
• C. System configuration backup over FTP
• D. All configuration backup over SFTP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct choice, A, involves a Full state backup over TFTP, which is the only option that maintains the encryption of sensitive data like passwords. The other options do not specify encryption and could result in sensitive information being stored in cleartext, failing to meet the security requirement.
