HP Secure Key Manager - Manual (Page 96)

If one of these objects is being restored on a device where there is already a similar object with the
same name, the key, certificate, or local CA from the backup file overwrites the existing object.
Every backup file is protected with a key on the SKM and a password provided by the administrator.
Because a backup file may contain sensitive information, such as user accounts and certificates, we
recommend a reasonably long backup password.
