At what run level can PCE backups be performed?

The ability to perform PCE (Policy Compute Engine) backups at any run level is significant for ensuring operational flexibility and reliability in managing system backups. This means that regardless of the current operational state of the system, you can initiate a backup process.

This flexibility is crucial in environments where downtime may not be feasible, allowing administrators to secure data without needing to revert to specific run levels associated with maintenance or recovery, such as single user mode or run levels that only allow limited functions.

While other choices suggest limitations on when backups can occur, saying that they can only happen at specific states could restrict the effectiveness and response times needed for backups, especially in dynamic environments where uptime is critical. Thus, this capability is vital for maintaining continuous data availability and ensuring that backups are performed in a timely manner irrespective of the operational context.
