Restoring Data if Required Key is Available
If the right key isn’t available on the library when you need to restore encrypted data, the
library prompts you with the moniker of the key that is required to decrypt the data. You can
then import the key so that it is on the library as long as there isn’t already a key on it (if there
is, delete the existing one first). After you assign it to the partition with the encrypted media, it
is available for decryption.
If you don’t have a library available and need to restore the key, you need the password
created when exporting the key, the key, and the command-line encryption utility described in
Chapter 11. Endura Decryption Utility
, along with a Linux computer to run the utility.
To restore data:
1.
Load the tape to be decrypted.
2.
Assign the key to the partition with the tape if it is not already assigned to it.
3.
Use the backup software to automatically decrypt and restore data.
If the key is not available, a message indicates this. To import a key so that you can
restore data, continue to the next set of steps.
Importing Keys
If the key is not available on the library, you can import it from a USB device or through the
RLC. The RLC option only displays if you are logged in remotely. See the following sections for
details instructions:
