Components

Description

Source

Specify the source of the backup configuration. When restoring a backup that spans

multiple files, specify the zero-th file here (for example, internal _0_bkp). Specifying

the zero-th file indicates to the Key Manager that the backup contains multiple files.

The Key Manager will then automatically transfer all of the backup files.
The backup configuration might be stored internally or on another machine. If the

backup configuration is stored locally, you can select it from the drop-down under the

Internal option. If the backup configuration is stored on another machine, you can

either upload the file through the browser or you can copy the file to the SKM via

FTP or SCP. If you are copying the backup configuration to SKM via FTP or SCP,

you must provide the following:

the source host.

the name of the file on the source host.

the username of the account on the source host.

the password for the user account on the source host.

NOTE:

Backup files larger than 100 MB cannot be transferred through the browser. You

must use SCP or FTP to upload these files.

Backup Password

Enter the backup configuration password.

Restore

Click Restore to restore the backup configuration.

NOTE:

Key Manager DataSecure appliance Number of Active Versions Allowed for a Key setting on the Key

and Policy Configuration page. If the key has more active versions than permitted by that setting,

the key restore will fail.
To restore a key with more active versions than the system allows, you must change the Number of Active

Versions Allowed for a Key setting before restoring the backup. You can then reduce the key’s active

versions and return the Number of Active Versions Allowed for a Key to its original value.

Backup Restore Information

The Backup Restore Information section of the Backup and Restore page provides a list of contents in a

given backup file. You can select the individual items to include in the backup.
