An engineer must perform a backup and restore in Cisco UCS to rebuild the system in a disaster recovery scenario. The backup file must be encrypted to prevent the passwords from being stored as cleart

The correct answer is A. Full state backup over TFTP. Cisco UCS supports four backup types: Full State, All Configuration, System Configuration, and Logical Configuration. Only the Full State backup encrypts the resulting file, which is required here to prevent passwords from being stored in cleartext. Full State captures everything

Explanation

Cisco UCS supports four backup types: Full State, All Configuration, System Configuration, and Logical Configuration. Only the Full State backup encrypts the resulting file, which is required here to prevent passwords from being stored in cleartext. Full State captures everything needed to fully restore UCS Manager-including passwords, certificates, and keys-and always generates an encrypted binary file. The other backup types (Logical, System, All Configuration) produce XML files that store sensitive data in cleartext. The transport protocol (TFTP in option A) is irrelevant to whether the backup file itself is encrypted; the encryption is a property of the Full State backup type, not the transport.
