Primary and secondary backups of encryption keys
The storage system automatically creates and stores a primary backup of each encryption key. In addition, you can create secondary backups of the encryption keys. If a primary backup key is unavailable, the secondary backup is required to restore the key.
ImportantThe creation and secure storage of backup keys must be included as part of your corporate security policy. It is strongly recommended that you back up each encryption key or group of keys immediately after you create them and that you schedule regular backups of all encryption keys to ensure data availability. You are responsible for storing the secondary backup keys securely.
CautionIf a primary backup key becomes unavailable and no secondary backup key exists, the system cannot decrypt the encrypted data.
