Explanation

saveconfig writes the current XML configuration file to disk (or a connected FTP/SCP server), while mailconfig emails the XML configuration file to a specified address - both methods deliver the full config XML for safekeeping, which is why A and D are correct.

Why the others are wrong:

B (getconfig) and C (backupconfig) are not valid AsyncOS CLI commands - they are plausible-sounding distractors.
E (loadconfig) is the restore counterpart: it imports an XML config file rather than exporting one, so it's the opposite of what's needed.
F (scanconfig) relates to scanning/antivirus policy configuration, not config file export.

Memory tip: Think of the two output directions - saveconfig saves it to a file/server (local/remote storage), and mailconfig sends it to an inbox (email). Both push the config out for backup; loadconfig pulls config in for restore. If a command name doesn't imply "output" or delivery, it won't back anything up.
