vtl backup

This command will be deprecated in a future release. It is strongly recommended that you use the lunacm utility to backup your SafeNet Luna Network HSM partitions. See partition archive in the Lunacm Command Reference Guide.

Name

vtl backup - backup SafeNet Luna Network HSM partition to slot

Syntax

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

See also:

>vtl backup append

>vtl backup restore

>vtl backup delete

>vtl backup token

If you use this command without any sub-commands, a partition is created on the backup HSM and the objects on the source HSM slot are cloned to the target partition. Or, if the target partition is found, the objects on the source HSM slot are cloned to the target slot, overwriting any objects already there.

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 to back up your SafeNet Luna Network HSM partition to a SafeNet Luna Backup HSM that is connected locally to the SafeNet Luna Network HSM appliance, then use the token backup commands 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.
