Backing up configurations and certificates to external server, then to CD

SKM Configurations and Certificates may be backed up to a file on an external server or workstation.
Using standard tools on that server or workstation, the backup file may be written to CD. Since each
SKM node’s network configuration is unique, you should repeat the process for each node in the
SKM.

NOTE:

Keys are not backed up by this process. Key backup is described in

Backing up keys to external server,

then to DVD

.

To backup all configurations and certificates (everything but keys):

1.

From the SKM interface on the Device tab in the Maintenance menu on the left, select Backup &
Restore, then select Create Backup.
