When performing a network device backup, which type of information ensures that the current state of the device is preserved so it can be restored to the point it was at immediately prior to a disruption?
A state backup captures the real-time operating status of a network device, including its current running configuration and active connections. This facilitates a complete restoration of the device to its operational condition at the time of the backup in case of a failure, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuity.
