SafeNet 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 SafeNet 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
•Backup HSM Installation, Storage, and Maintenance
•Backup and Restore From the Client to a Client-Local Backup HSM (LunaCM)
•Backup and Restore From the Client to a Remote Backup HSM (LunaCM, RBS)
•Backup and Restore From the Appliance to an Appliance-connected Backup HSM (LunaSH)
