Which three items should be considered when restoring a backup to a Cisco VCS Expressway? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is A. A restart is required to complete the system restore process. B. If the backup file is encrypted, an encryption password will be needed. C. A valid backup configuration file must be accessible. Restoring a Cisco VCS Expressway from backup requires the backup file to be present and accessible, the encryption password if the file was encrypted, and a system restart to apply the restored configuration.

Why each option
Restoring a Cisco VCS Expressway from backup requires the backup file to be present and accessible, the encryption password if the file was encrypted, and a system restart to apply the restored configuration.
After a configuration restore operation on the Cisco VCS Expressway, the system must be restarted so that all restored settings are loaded into memory and take effect, making a restart a required step in the restore process.
If the backup was created with encryption enabled, the VCS Expressway restore process will prompt for the encryption password and will fail to decrypt and apply the backup without it.
A valid, uncorrupted backup configuration file must be locally accessible to the VCS Expressway restore interface before the restore process can be initiated.
The Cisco VCS Expressway backup and restore process uses its own web interface or file upload mechanism and does not require a separate SFTP server for a standard restore operation.
Maintenance mode is used during software upgrades to prevent call processing interruptions and is not a documented requirement for performing a configuration backup restore.
The Cisco VCS Expressway appliance does not support restoring configurations from a USB flash drive connected to the appliance.
Cisco TMSXE is a Microsoft Exchange integration component and has no role in processing or restoring VCS Expressway configuration backups.
