Which two protocols support accessing backup files on a remote location from the APIC? (Choose two.)

In Cisco ACI, a Remote Location profile is required to export or import configuration backups, firmware images, and tech support files. The APIC supports specific protocols to communicate with these remote servers. The officially supported protocols for remote locations in ACI are FTP, SCP, and SFTP. Therefore, from the provided options, FTP and SFTP are the correct protocols used to access backup files on a remote location.

A: TFTP is not a supported protocol for configuring remote locations in Cisco ACI.

D: SMB (Server Message Block) is not supported for ACI remote backup locations.

E: HTTPS is not a supported protocol for accessing remote backup files in ACI.
