d. In the Security Items panel, in the Keys field, select All keys. Alternatively, you may enter the key

name, and restore 1 key.

CAUTION:

Although the backup file should only contain 1 key, it is a best practice to deselect

everything except keys. If anything else is selected, restoring configurations would

overwrite existing configurations for that node, and would very likely break the node’s

ability to function.

NOTE:

Restoring keys is additive. New keys are added to the existing list, and no existing

keys are replaced.

e. In the Backup Password field, enter the backup password.
f. Click Restore.

A message displays when the restore is complete.
