Specify the destination information. The backup configuration can be stored internally
on the SKM, downloaded to a browser, or copied to another machine via FTP or SCP.
If you are creating this backup in anticipation of doing a software upgrade immediately
after, we recommend that you store the backup file externally. If you download the
backup configuration to a browser, the backup configuration is encrypted and
downloaded to your local machine. You must specify a name for the file; however, it
is not necessary to specify an extension for the file. If you select FTP or SCP to copy the
backup configuration to another machine, you must provide the following:

the destination host.

the name of the file on the destination host. The file name can contain path inform-
ation.

the username of the account on the destination host.

the password for the user account on the destination host.
