vtl backup append

Name

vtl backup append

Syntax

vtl backup append -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 SafeNet Network HSM partition contents to a specified slot or labeled partition on a backup HSM.

See also:  

vtl backup

vtl backup restore

vtl backup delete

vtl backup token

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 your cloned objects to overwrite any objects already on the target slot, then use vtl backup (without the append sub-command).

If you wish to back up your SafeNet Network HSM partition to a SafeNet Backup HSM that is connected locally to the SafeNet Network HSM appliance, then use the token backup commands in LunaSH 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.
