successful as soon as possible after you create it.
USB Storage Device
1. Plug the USB storage device into a PC that is not connected to the library.
2. Examine the list of files on the USB storage device to verify that it contains a list of
files.
3. If a file called
name.bsk
or
name.bss
, where
name
is the moniker you assigned to
the key when it was created, is present and is more than 0 bytes in size, the
encryption key was successfully exported and is usable. Store the USB in a safe
location.

4. If the exported key file is not present or if is 0 bytes in size, repeat the export
process (Export the Encryption Key on page 108) using a different USB device.
Email Attachment
1. Open the email attachment and verify that it contains at least one file.
2. If a file called

Using the Endura Decryption Utility
The optional Endura Decryption Utility (EDU) lets you restore data with a minimum of
equipment, which may be important in recovering data following a crisis or disaster.
Use this command-line utility on a host that is running Linux and has one or more tape
drives connected and online. The EDU utility decrypts the data stored on tape and
writes it to the same or a different tape. You can then restore the data with the backup
software used to back up the data.
