Which of the following statements is not correct regarding virtual domains (VDOMs)?
The correct answer is C. A backup management VDOM will synchronize the configuration from an active management. The statement that a backup management VDOM synchronizes configuration from an active management VDOM is incorrect, as FortiGate typically has a single management VDOM and VDOMs are independent.

Why each option
The statement that a backup management VDOM synchronizes configuration from an active management VDOM is incorrect, as FortiGate typically has a single management VDOM and VDOMs are independent.
VDOMs indeed divide a single FortiGate into multiple virtual units that function independently.
The management VDOM handles global services like SNMP, logging, alert emails, and FortiGuard updates.
FortiGate Virtual Domains (VDOMs) are designed to operate as independent virtual units sharing core resources, and there is no concept or functionality for a 'backup management VDOM' that automatically synchronizes its configuration from an active management VDOM.
VDOMs share underlying firmware versions and security databases (antivirus, IPS) across all virtual instances.
Administrative users with a 'super_admin' profile have global access to configure all VDOMs on the FortiGate unit.
