Creating a Recovery File

HP strongly recommends you make a new encrypted recovery file of
your smart card data now and also whenever you change the contents
of your smart card (for example an encryption key or, where applicable,
a password). This recovery file will allow you to recreate your smart
card (and, more importantly, access your computer) if the card is lost,
stolen, or damaged. You can keep old recovery files in case you need to
create an old card.

Memorize the recovery file password. You will not be able recreate your
smart card from the recovery file if you forget the password. You may
wish to make a note of the password on a piece of paper and keep it in
a safe place, such as a safety deposit box.
Do not save the recovery file on your PC's hard disk because you will not
be able to access the file without your smart card. Furthermore, the
recovery file may be accessible to others, which can pose a security risk.
