Backing Up and Restoring CTE-LDT GuardPoints

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

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