You are expanding an existing 4-node ONTAP 9.8 cluster with a FAS8300 HA pair by adding a new FAS500f HA pair. Before the expansion, you are asked to save the configuration of the cluster to a backup file.
In this scenario, which two ONTAP configuration backup methods are available? (Choose two.)
In the scenario described, ONTAP configuration backup methods available are the node and cluster backups. A node backup allows you to save the configuration of an individual node, while a cluster backup saves the configuration of the entire cluster, including the storage VM (SVM) information. Switch, although involved in the network setup, is not part of the ONTAP storage configuration backup methods.
"Before you expand a cluster, you should use advanced privilege to create a backup file to save the cluster configuration information and optionally save the node configurations." https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-sm-classic/expansion/task_backing_up_cluster_configuration.html
the SVM information is included on a cluster backup The switch is not ONTAP IOS https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/system-admin/commands-manage-config-backup-files-reference.html You can create a Node or Cluster backup

B and C you can backup individual node and complete cluster, and the SVM information it¿s included on a cluster backup https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Systems/FAS_Systems/Is_SVM_information_included_in_the_configuration_backup_file%3F
I think B C. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-sm-classic/expansion/task_backing_up_cluster_configuration.html
