Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Policy & Objects > Import Policy
Why it's wrong here
This imports policies, not a full config backup.
- ✗
Scripts > Create > Run on Device
Why it's wrong here
Scripts are for pushing commands, not requesting backups.
- ✗
System Settings > Network > Backup
Why it's wrong here
This is for backing up the FortiManager itself, not managed devices.
- ✓
Device Manager > Device Dashboard > Backup
Why this is correct
This is a direct method to force a backup.
- ✓
Device Manager > Revision History > Create New
Why this is correct
Creating a new revision effectively backs up the device configuration.
