To securely export Cisco APIC configuration snapshots to a secure, offsite location using an encrypted tunnel and a platform-agnostic data format that provides namespace support, the following configuration set must be used:

Choose a Platform-Agnostic Data Format: Export the configuration in a data format like JSON or XML, which are platform-agnostic and support namespaces1.

Use an Encrypted Tunnel: Transfer the configuration snapshot over a secure protocol such as SFTP or SCP, which provides an encrypted tunnel for the data transfer1.

Schedule the Export: Set up a scheduled export of the configuration in the Cisco APIC to occur at regular intervals, ensuring the process is automated1.

Enable Encryption: Make sure the configuration export policy includes encryption settings. Cisco APIC supports AES-256 encryption for securing exported configuration files2.

Verify Namespace Support: Ensure that the chosen data format and the method of export support the use of namespaces, which are essential for organizing elements and attributes in XML documents1.

By following these steps and choosing Option B, the engineer can meet the requirements for securely exporting Cisco APIC configuration snapshots to an offsite location.
