A full state configuration backup in Cisco UCS Manager includes a snapshot of the entire system, which is stored as a binary file. This backup type is ideal for disaster recovery as it can restore or rebuild the configuration on the original fabric interconnect or recreate the configuration on a different fabric interconnect. It is important to note that this backup type cannot be used for an import but is specifically designed for system restoration. References: * Cisco's official documentation on "Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration" provides a detailed guide on the backup types and procedures within Cisco UCS Manager1. * The "Cisco UCS Manager Administration Management Guide 4.2" further elaborates on backup operations, considerations, and the system restore process
