Backing up keys to a key management server
Back up data encryption license keys to a key management server. The data encryption license
keys that you back up to a key management server are managed with the client certificate.
There are a limited number of keys you can back up on the key management server. Therefore, it
is recommended that you delete unnecessary keys when possible.
When you back up to a key management server, the server uses another data encryption license
key to encrypt the original keys. Both keys reside on the server.
