Restoring Encrypted Data

December 2008

Spectra T950 Library

Spectra Logic recommends tracking the information listed in the following 
table for every key that you create. For added security, encrypt the file 
containing the tracking information.

Restoring encrypted data from tape follows the standard data restore 
processes that you use with your backup software. The only difference is 
that the key used to encrypt the data being restored needs to be on the 
library and assigned to the partition in which the encrypted media is 
loaded. If the key is available, the data is automatically decrypted as it is 
read from tape; standard restore procedures simply work. 

If the encryption key required for a specific set of encrypted data has been 
exported from the library and then deleted, the library prompts you with 
the moniker of the key that is required to decrypt the data. You can use the 
key moniker to identify the key, then import the key into the library as 
described in this section. 

Endura Decryption Utility (EDU) is an optional command-line encryption 
utility which provides a method that lets you restore data without loading 
the media into the library. See 

 for detailed information about using this utility.

Important

You need this password 

and

 the encrypted file containing the key to import the 

encryption key. Without the key password, you will not be able to import the 
encryption key.
