partition archive backup

Backup partition objects. Use this command to backup objects from the current user partition to a partition on a backup device.

Note:  If the domains of your source and target HSMs do not match or the policy settings do not permit backup, the partition archive backup command fails. No objects are cloned to the target HSM but the command creates an empty backup partition. In this circumstance, you must manually delete the empty backup partition.

Syntax

partition archive backup -slot <slot> -password <password> -partition <backup partition>
