Cisco UCS C Series Configuration Guide

When performing a backup or import operation, consider these guidelines:
• You can perform a backup or an import while the system is up and running. While a backup operation
has no impact on the server or network traffic, some modifications caused by an import operation, such
as IP address changes, can disrupt traffic or cause a server reboot.
• You cannot execute a backup and an import simultaneously.
