Why each option
To automatically trigger a backup of the current Cisco ACI configuration to a remote server, a single export policy must be created.
Creating two export policies is not strictly necessary to achieve an automatic configuration backup; one policy is sufficient to define the backup parameters and schedule.
An import policy is used to restore configurations *into* the ACI fabric, not to back up configurations *from* it.
An export policy in Cisco ACI defines the data to be backed up, the remote destination (like an FTP server), and a schedule for the backup operation. Creating one such policy is sufficient to automatically trigger and manage the configuration backup process.
Creating two import policies is incorrect, as import policies are for restoring configurations, not for initiating backups.
