Client-Computer Commands (vtl)
NAME
vtl backup - backup Luna SA partition to slot
SYNOPSIS
vtl backup -source <slot# or label> -p <source password> -target <slot# or label> -partition <backupHSM partitionname> -r <backupHSM SO password> -u <backup partition user password>
DESCRIPTION
This command is used remotely to back up Luna SA partition contents to a specified slot or labeled partition on a backup HSM.
See also:
If you use this command without any sub-commands, a partition is created on the backup HSM and the objects on the source HSM slot are cloned to the target partition. Or, if the target partition is found, the objects on the source HSM slot are cloned to the target slot, overwriting any objects already there.
If you wish to preserve objects already on the target partition, then use vtl backup append to add the objects from the source to those already on the target.
If you wish to back up your Luna SA partition to a Luna Backup HSM that is connected locally to the Luna SA appliance, then use the token backup commands instead.
OPTIONS
-source <slot # or label> [mandatory] The slot number or the label of the source HSM. Do NOT use a numeral as the first character in a slot label. The command looks for a slot number first, and any numeral it sees is interpreted as a slot number.
-p <source password> source user password, if needed
-target <slot # or label> [mandatory] The slot number or the label of the target HSM. Do NOT use a numeral as the first character in a slot label. The command looks for a slot number first, and any numeral it sees is interpreted as a slot number.
-partition <backup partition name> [mandatory] The name of the target partition on the Backup HSM.
-r <backup HSM SO password> The SO password of the Backup HSM, needed for password-authenticated HSMs only - ignored for PED-authenticated HSMs.
-u <backup HSM User password> The User password of the Backup HSM partition, needed for password-authenticated HSMs only - ignored for PED-authenticated HSMs.
