What happens if there are unsaved changes in the SMA before performing a backup?

When performing a backup in the SonicWall Secure Mobile Access (SMA) system, it is important to understand that any unsaved changes will not be included in the backup file. Therefore, the correct choice indicates that unsaved changes are omitted from the backup process.

This is a critical aspect of backup operations, as it ensures that only the configurations and settings that have been explicitly saved are captured in the backup. Unsaved changes may represent transient states or incomplete configurations that could lead to inconsistencies or issues if they were included.

To ensure that all relevant configurations are backed up, administrators should consider saving any changes before initiating a backup. This practice helps maintain the integrity and reliability of the backup, allowing for a straightforward restoration process if needed in the future.
