Remote Backup Service (RBS)

RBS implements the Remote Backup Service to remotely backup your HSMs. RBS is run on a workstation with a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM connected.

RBS requires pedClient to be running both on the RBS computer and on the host of the SafeNet Luna HSM primary (the HSM being backed-up from, or being restored-to). PedClient enables the communication link over which RBS works.

PedClient is also used in conjunction with pedServer to enable Remote PED, and in the case where both the Backup HSM and the Remote PED are connected to the same administrative workstation, you might legitimately have all three of RBS, pedServer, and pedClient running on the one system.
