You are running a R77 Security Gateway on GAiA. In case of a hardware failure, you have a
server with the exact same hardware and firewall version installed. What backup method could be
used to quickly put the secondary firewall into production?

A.
backup
B.
snapshot
C.
migrate_import
D.
manual backup
A is best since it states that the firewall OS is already installed, no need to do a snapshot which would take longer

B) snapshot as backup would bring the MAC addresses of the original CHKP system.

B is accurate. Snapshot can only be restored to the same hardware, same state( OS, version, HF version). Backup does not collect driver information and can be restored to a different machine.It does however contain MAC information and restoring this to a different machine may cause MAC issues.

It’s B snapshot
The GAiA Backup must be installed on the SAME version WITH patches w/c can be an obstacle when restoring in another system
