Exporting Encryption Keys
Each SKM server provides a unique encryption key for each tape
cartridge that is encrypted. In order for another (i.e., destination) SKM
server to read tapes encrypted by your SKM server, you need to export
the encryption keys used to encrypt those tapes and send them to the
destination server.
You may also use this function to create a backup of your SKM server
encryption keys in case of a catastrophic SKM server failure.

privileges and only applies to SKM servers. Both SKM servers
