Item
You can back up your selected SafeNet Luna Network HSM partition contents (root keys, certificates, other
items) to a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM. The SafeNet Luna Backup HSM is suitable for off-site storage and
for backing up multiple HSM partitions. It can back up contents of password-authenticated or of PED-
authenticated HSMs. It must be initialized as one type or the other before the backup operation starts.
The SafeNet Luna Backup HSM can be connected directly to an HSM, or it can be connected to a separate
computer to back up remotely-located HSMs in conjunction with a Remote PED.
The authentication method for a backup HSM must match the authentication method (password or PED) for
any HSM with which it is used.
