Explanation

Cisco requires an SFTP server to be configured before performing a CUCM backup via the Disaster Recovery System (DRS). SFTP is the only supported backup storage protocol.

Common mistakes.

B. FTP is not supported by the Cisco Disaster Recovery System because it transmits data in cleartext, which poses a security risk for backup files containing sensitive system configuration.
C. SNMP is a network monitoring protocol used for polling device status and receiving traps - it has no role in the CUCM backup and restore process.
D. TFTP is used in CUCM to serve configuration files and firmware to IP phones and gateways, not as a destination for system backup storage.
