Which two backup methods are available for a Avaya Aura® System Manager (SMGR) Backup? (Choose two.)

Avaya Aura® System Manager (SMGR) provides two primary methods for data backup. The 'Local Backup' option creates a backup archive and stores it on the local file system of the System Manager server itself. The 'Remote Backup' option performs the same backup process but then securely transfers the resulting archive file to a pre-configured remote server using the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP). These two methods are the standard, officially supported options available through the System Manager's web-based administration interface for ensuring data protection and disaster recovery readiness.

A. SD Card Backup: This method is not supported for the System Manager server platform; backups are managed as files on the server's hard disk.

C. DVD Backup: System Manager does not have an integrated function or the necessary hardware to write backup files directly to DVD media.

E. USB Backup: While a local backup file could be manually copied to a USB device via the command line, it is not an integrated backup destination within the SMGR backup scheduler.
