An engineer wants to create a backup of Cisco UCS Manager for disaster recovery purposes. What are two characteristics of a full state backup of a Cisco UCS Manager database? (Choose two.)
A.
contains all of the runtime states and statuses but not the configurations
B.
performs a complete binary dump of the database as a .bin file
C.
performs a complete binary dump of the database as a .sql file
D.
performs a complete binary dump of the database as a .txz file
.bin is correct for full state back ups
Backup Types
You can perform one or more of the following types of backups through Cisco UCS Manager:
Full state—A binary file that includes a snapshot of the entire system. You can use the file generated from this backup to restore the system during disaster recovery. This file can restore or rebuild the configuration on the original fabric interconnect, or recreate the configuration on a different fabric interconnect. You cannot use this file for an import.

A full state backup of Cisco UCS Manager provides a comprehensive snapshot of the system, including all configurations and operational state data, which can be used for disaster recovery.
Binary dump as a .bin file (B): The full state backup generates a .bin file, which is a binary dump of the entire database. This format is designed to capture the complete state of UCS Manager for restoration purposes.
Contains all configurations (E): The full state backup captures all UCS Manager configurations, such as service profiles, VLANs, policies, and other setup details. This ensures that the system can be fully restored to its original state.
based on this guide https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/GUI-User-Guides/Firmware-Mgmt/4-1/b_UCSM_GUI_Firmware_Management_Guide_4-1/b_UCSM_GUI_Firmware_Management_Guide_4-1_chapter_011.html file extension is tgz
While the Infrastructure firmware is being upgraded, an automatic full state backup file is created. Cisco UCS Manager Release 2.2(4) introduced two new backup stages that are visible in the FSM status. These are:
InternalBackup—Backs up the configuration.
PollInternalBackup—Waits for the backup to complete.
After the backup is successfully completed, the backup file, named as "bkp.timestamp.tgz", is stored within the /workspace/backup directory of both the fabric interconnects. This location contains only the latest backup file.
From official online training:
"Full-state backups protect against catastrophic failure of both fabric interconnects in the cluster. This backup creates a binary ".tar.gz" file that includes a snapshot of the entire system. The file includes all the run-time state information"
From https://peazip.github.io/tar-file-format.html
Compressed TAR file extensions
Compressed tar files can be found named with single extension, e.g. TGZ, TBZ, !!!!!!!!TXZ!!!!!!!, TZST, or with double file extension, e.g. TAR.GZ, TAR.BR, TAR.BZ2, TAR.XZ, TAR.ZST.
So TXZ is not a typ.

.tgz is mentioned. can .txz be a typo?
Full state—A binary file that includes a snapshot of the entire system. You can use the file generated from this backup to restore the system during disaster recovery. This file can restore or rebuild the configuration on the original fabric interconnect, or recreate the configuration on a different fabric interconnect. You cannot use this file for an import
D & E
the file extension for bin in a cisco context is usually the OS.
tar files are used for backup.
