A list of saved configuration files appear. Each saved configuration file is named
according to the time and date it was saved. The naming format is:
HH.MM.SS.NN.DD.YY.tar.gz where HH = hour, MM=minute, SS=second, NN=month,
DD=day, and YY=year.
STEP 6
Set
Restore Volume Encryption Password
depending on whether you want to
include the encryption keys for the encrypted volumes in the restore.
The NSS configuration backup includes a backup of the encryption header for all
the encrypted volumes (the encryption header contains an encrypted version of
the encryption key used to encrypt the volume data. Including it in the
configuration backup does not decrease the security of the encryption because
this same header would be available to any attacker with physical access to the
system). You can choose to restore these keys or not, depending on the reason
you are doing the restore. If the encryption header on an encrypted volume
becomes corrupted, restoring the header might allow you to unlock the volume.
Also, if you have forgotten the password, you can restore the encryption header.
This lets you revert to the volume password as it was when the configuration file
was saved.
