When performing a backup through the SMI Web interface, which two backup methods are valid for Avaya Aura Communication Manager (CM) 10.1? (Choose…

The Avaya Aura® Communication Manager (CM) 10.1 System Manager Interface (SMI) provides web-based administration for maintenance tasks, including backups. For performing backups to a remote location over the network, the SMI supports secure file transfer protocols. The two valid and supported methods for this are SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure Copy Protocol). Administrators configure a remote server destination within the SMI, specifying one of these two protocols to ensure the secure transmission of the backup data.

A. USB: The SMI web interface is designed for remote administration and does not provide a direct option to perform backups to a locally connected USB device.

C. DVD: Backing up directly to a DVD is an outdated method and is not a supported feature within the Communication Manager's SMI web interface.

Details: This section details the procedure for configuring a remote server as a backup target. Step 5 of the procedure explicitly states to select either SFTP or SCP from the "Protocol" drop-down list. This confirms these are the only two supported network protocols for backups initiated via the SMI.
