Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Backups can be restored across major software version differences (e.g., restoring a v6.2 backup directly onto v7.4).
Why it's wrong here
Cross-version restores across major releases are not supported directly without upgrading.
- ✓
Restoring a backup overwrites the existing configuration and database on the target FMC.
Why this is correct
A restore operation replaces current database entries with the backup archive's contents.
- ✗
Restoring an FMC backup automatically restores all connected FTD local flash images.
Why it's wrong here
FMC backups do not flash or upgrade FTD local operating system images.
- ✓
After restoring a backup to a new appliance, managed FTD devices may require re-registration or trust re-establishment due to changed CA keys.
Why this is correct
New hardware UUIDs and CAs mean FTD registration trust must be verified.
- ✓
The target FMC appliance must be running the exact same software version as the appliance where the backup was generated.
Why this is correct
Version mismatch will cause the restore operation to fail.
