To quickly recover when configuration is lost, which of the following operations is recommended?

Question

Options

• APeriodically manually save the device configuration on the controller
• BDevelop regular configuration file backup tasks

• A
  16% (10)
• B
  84% (51)

Explanation

Option B is correct because automated, scheduled configuration backups ensure consistency and reliability - they run without human intervention, reducing the risk of gaps caused by oversight or forgetfulness. Regular backup tasks can be triggered on a schedule or after each change, meaning the saved configuration is always recent and ready for rapid restoration after a failure.

Option A is wrong not because manual saving is harmful, but because it is not recommended for recovery preparedness - manual processes depend on human discipline and are prone to being skipped, especially during busy periods or staff changes. "Periodically manually" introduces unpredictability into what should be a systematic, dependable process.

Memory tip: Think "B for Backup Automatically" - the word regular in Option B implies a repeatable, automated schedule, which is the hallmark of a sound disaster-recovery strategy. If a process relies on someone remembering to do it, it will eventually fail.
