Why each option
To configure user authentication on Cisco UCS Manager such that user roles are saved to an external server securely, performing a system configuration backup with SCP is the appropriate action.
A logical configuration backup captures logical components like service profiles and policies, but not typically the system-level AAA configuration for external storage of user roles. While HTTPS is secure, the backup type is incorrect for the stated goal.
A full state backup is comprehensive but might be overkill for just user authentication and roles, and FTP is an insecure protocol, making it unsuitable for securing sensitive authentication data.
A system configuration backup specifically includes the AAA configuration, which encompasses user authentication settings and roles, allowing them to be saved to an external server. The SCP (Secure Copy Protocol) protocol provides secure data transfer, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of the backup file, which is crucial for sensitive authentication data.
An all configuration backup includes many settings, but TFTP is an insecure protocol and lacks the authentication and encryption necessary for securing user role data during transfer to an external server.
