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 clear text. Which backup configuration meets these requirements?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

A full state backup is the appropriate choice when an engineer needs to perform a backup and restore in Cisco UCS for disaster recovery purposes. This type of backup includes a snapshot of the entire system and is saved as a binary file.Importantly, full state backups are encrypted, ensuring that passwords and other sensitive information are not stored as clear text12. While TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is not secure by itself, the encryption of the full state backup file provides the necessary security for the passwords within the backup.


Cisco documentation on ''Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration'' provides detailed information on the different backup types and their contents1.

Cisco UCS Manager Administration Management Guide 4.2, which mentions the encryption of full state backups

Definitely not C, FTP is not secure enough for this!

Wait, can you really encrypt backups over SCP? Sounds risky.

I’m leaning towards option D because I think SFTP is the way to go for encrypted backups, but I need to double-check that.

I feel like logical configuration backups are less secure than full backups, but I can't remember if SCP encrypts the data.

I think we practiced a question about backup types, and I recall that full state backups are comprehensive but might not be encrypted by default.

Okay, I think I've got it. The question is asking for a backup configuration that encrypts the passwords, so SFTP is the only option that meets that requirement. I'm feeling good about selecting D as the answer.

I'm a little unsure about the differences between the backup types. I know SFTP provides encryption, but I'm not sure if the other options do or not. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Alright, let's think this through. We need to encrypt the backup file, so that means SFTP is the way to go. The question is pretty straightforward, I'm confident D is the right answer.

I think the key here is that the backup file needs to be encrypted to prevent the passwords from being stored in clear text. That rules out options A, C, and B since they use TFTP, FTP, and SCP which don't provide encryption.
