Backing Up and Restoring LDT GuardPoints

This section describes procedures and considerations related to backing up and restoring data in LDT GuardPoints.

In addition to the files in a GuardPoint, LDT stores metadata in extended file attributes. These LDT attributes contain information that is required for decrypting the files and for the proper operation of LDT. Therefore, it is critical that your backup application also backs up the extended attributes of the files along with file data.
