Answer options
A: drfSchedule.xml Correct answer
B: drfDevice.xml Correct answer
C: drfDeviceProfile.xml
D: drfPlatform.xml
E: drfSystem.xml
Correct Answer:
A. drfSchedule.xml; B. drfDevice.xml
Explanation

During a cluster-level backup, the Cisco Disaster Recovery System (DRS) saves its own configuration data to ensure the backup system itself can be restored. Specifically, it backs up the drfSchedule.xml and drfDevice.xml files. The drfSchedule.xml file contains all configured backup schedules, while the drfDevice.xml file stores the backup device details, such as SFTP server IP addresses, credentials, and directory paths. Restoring these specific XML files ensures that the DRS configuration is fully recovered along with the rest of the Unified Communications system data.

Why Incorrect

C. drfDeviceProfile.xml is not a valid file in the DRS architecture; device profiles are part of CUCM database records, not DRS configuration files.
D. drfPlatform.xml does not exist as a standalone DRS backup file; platform configurations are backed up via the platform component archive.
E. drfSystem.xml is not a valid DRS file; system-level data is compressed into tar archives rather than stored in a single XML file.
