Answer should be C.

Recommended backup schedule

Snapshot – at least once, or before major change (for example: an upgrade), during a maintenance window.

Backup – every couple of months, depending how frequently you perform changes in your network/policy. Also before every major change, during a maintenance window.

upgrade_export – every month or more often, depending on how frequently you perform changes in your network/policy. Also important before upgrade or migration. Can be run outside a maintenance window.

The answer of B. is correct.

In R75 the command is ‘migrate export’. Previously it was upgrade_export, and this can actually still be used.

backup_export is not a valid command.

As far as I know, there is no “backup_export” command, it’s just “backup”, and you get a menu.

The “upgrade_export” command is the same as the newer “migrate export” command, and that’s the one that requires no downtime (but you must exit the GUI)

Recommended backup plan
For complete backup of the system and maximum confidence, Check Points recommends combining all three methods as part of the backup plan (Snapshot Management, System Backup/Restore, Save/Load Configuration). This will allow multiple restore points, redundancy and reliability of overall restore procedure.

Collect:

Snapshot – after a fresh installation, before an upgrade, and before a hotfix installation.
Scheduled Backup – monthly or weekly, depending how frequently you perform changes in your configuration and policy.
