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 cleartext. Which backup configuration meets these requirements?
In a disaster recovery scenario, it is crucial to ensure that the backup file is encrypted to protect sensitive information like passwords. While TFTP is generally used for transferring files in some scenarios, it does not inherently provide encryption, which makes it unsuitable for secure transfers. On the other hand, SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) ensures that the transfer of backups is encrypted, thus protecting the data in transit. Combined with the requirement for a comprehensive backup, the 'All configuration backup over SFTP' option meets the requirements of both encryption and completeness, making it the best choice for the scenario described.
A is correct: Full state backups are encrypted so that passwords and other sensitive information are not exported as clear text.
Full state as the fale must be encrypted not the transfer method so A
A full state backup is the appropriate choice when an engineer needs to perform a backup and restore in Cisco UCS for disaster recovery purposes. This type of backup includes a snapshot of the entire system and is saved as a binary file. Importantly, full state backups are encrypted, ensuring that passwords and other sensitive information are not stored as clear text. While TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is not secure by itself, the encryption of the full state backup file provides the necessary security for the passwords within the backup.
Starting with Release 1.1(1) of the Cisco UCS Manager, full state backups are encrypted so that passwords and other sensitive information are not exported as clear text
Answer A
full state, but it cant be TFTP because it is cleartext
Transport method could be TFTP, backup is already encrypted.
Transport method could be TFTP, backup is already encrypted.
Tricky one, Full-State is meant for Disaster Recovery, but TFTP is not encrypted
The backup must be encrypted...
Why people says A if TFTP is not encrypted?
full state backups are encrypted, no need to use SCP
