Keeping valid backup copies of your encryption keys is extremely important. To create 
backup copies of your encryption keys, export the encryption keys as soon as possible 
after you create them. We recommend that you export each key to at least two different 
USB storage devices. Remember, lost encryption keys cannot be recreated; you should 
keep them as secure (and as backed up) as your data.

Note:

These instructions are for BlueScale Encryption Standard Edition. If you 
have BlueScale Professional Edition, refer to the BlueScale Encryption 
User Guide for additional information.

For safe-keeping and security, export the encryption key and store it in a safe, secure 
location so that you can import it back into the library if needed. To export the current 
encryption key:

1. Log in as a superuser, then select Security > Encryption. The Encryption User Login 

screen displays.

2. Enter the encryption password, then select OK. The Encryption Configuration 

screen displays.

3. Select Export Key. The Export Type screen displays (Figure 51).

Caution

Data cannot be recovered without the encryption key used to 
encrypt the data, so protecting encryption keys is extremely 
important to data decryption and recovery. To decrypt and 
restore encrypted data, you need the data, the encryption key, 
and the encryption key password used to protect the 
exported key and data.
