Luna HSMs secure the creation, storage, and use of cryptographic data (keys and other objects). However, no device can protect completely against unforeseen damage from various sources, including disaster-scale events. Therefore, the Luna HSM product line provides several ways to protect secure copies of your important objects and keys at safe locations and to later restore your important data to your production, or primary HSM, in case of need.
This chapter describes how to backup and restore the contents of your HSMs and HSM partitions. It contains the following sections:
•"Backup and Restore Overview and Best Practices "
•"About the Luna Remote Backup HSM"
•"Backup HSM Installation, Storage, and Maintenance"
•"Local Application-Partition Backup and Restore Using the Backup HSM"
•"Remote Application-Partition Backup and Restore Using the Backup HSM"
•"Restoring HSM Partitions From Legacy Tokens"
