Which action is most appropriate to quickly recover a misconfiguration when there is no backup available?

• A. Restore from revision history
• B. Run HA file synchronization
• C. Save v/s Running configuration
• D. Restart the Citrix ADC

Answer: (A)

When you need to recover quickly from a misconfiguration and there’s no external backup, reverting to a previous configuration version stored on the device itself is the fastest and safest option. The revision history on Citrix ADC keeps multiple past configurations, so you can select a known good snapshot and restore it, bringing the appliance back to a working state with minimal downtime. This is preferable to saving the current (possibly broken) running configuration to startup, which would persist the misconfiguration on reboot, or to restarting, which loads whatever is currently in startup and wouldn’t address the invalid state. Also, performing an HA file synchronization could spread an issue if one unit is misconfigured, rather than fixing it. Restoring from revision history provides an immediate, reliable rollback to a stable configuration.
