Which option allows you to initiate a manual backup in CounterACT?

The option that allows for initiating a manual backup in CounterACT is found within the "System > Backup Utility" pathway. This section is dedicated to the backup functionalities of the CounterACT system, allowing administrators to manage backups effectively. A manual backup is crucial for ensuring that configurations and data are preserved, particularly before significant changes or updates to the system.

The other options do not provide direct access to backup functionalities. "Options > Backup Management" typically deals with settings or preferences related to how backups are managed but does not directly initiate a manual backup. The "Options > CounterACT Devices configuration page" focuses on device-specific settings rather than backup operations. "Settings > Data Management" is generally more about managing data rather than specifically focusing on the backup process. Therefore, accessing the backup utility under the system settings is the appropriate way to perform a manual backup.
