A network engineer is tasked with backing up configurations for all routers and switches in a large enterprise network. Which of the following actions would effectively ensure that the configurations are both current and securely stored?
Automate the backup process to occur nightly and store the backups off-site.
Manually copy each configuration to a USB drive at the end of each month.
Save backups on the administrator's device for secure least privilege access.
Store backups on a server within the same local network for quick restoration.
By establishing automated backups to occur at regular intervals coupled with an off-site storage option, the configurations are kept up-to-date and the risk of data loss due to on-site disasters is minimized. Manual backups, while still usable, can be error-prone and may not be as timely. Using personal devices for storage introduces security risks, and storing on the same network risks losing the backups if the network is compromised.
