A hospital network needs to upgrade their Cisco FMC managed devices and needs to ensure that a disaster recovery process is in place. What must be done in order to minimize downtime on the network?

Explanation

Before upgrading Cisco FMC-managed devices, the most critical disaster recovery step is to back up the current configuration. If the upgrade fails or causes issues, the administrator can restore from this backup to return the environment to its pre-upgrade state, minimizing downtime. Option A (adding a second ISP circuit) addresses network redundancy, not FMC disaster recovery. Option C (configuring FMC failover/HA) is a valid HA strategy but is typically established before the upgrade process begins and is a separate architecture decision - not a step specifically taken during the upgrade process to ensure recovery. Option D (device clustering) improves performance and availability for the managed FTD devices, not the FMC management plane itself.
