Refresh All button to update the status for all modules.
2. If necessary, type the required value in the Authentication column for each selected module. The
security device may require the entry of authentication values to access the credential data on the
device. These values may include passwords, PINs, and so on.
3. Click Next. The "File Location" page opens.

File Location

The "File Location" page allows you to choose the location of the backup storage file and the security
token file.
The security token file securely stores the key used to encrypt the backup storage file. A password
encrypts the contents of the security token file. Saving the security token file to an offline location (USB
flash drive, disc, or other media) provides a two-factor level of security, because to access the backed-
up data in the storage file, you must have the security token file and know the password. Therefore, HP
recommends that you store the storage file and the token file on two different removable media that are
stored in different locations.
To configure file location:
1. Confirm or change the file name and location where you want to save the storage file and security
token file. To change the location, click the Edit button, and then type the new file name, or click
Browse to select a new location. An extension of .ptb is automatically appended to the file name.
NOTE:
you specify an existing storage file, you will be given the option to overwrite the selected module's
data within the storage file or to specify a different storage file. If you specify an existing storage
file, the entire file is not overwritten, only the backup data for the selected module.
2. To encrypt and protect the storage file with the security token and password, click Password
protect the storage file. Then type and confirm the password with which to encrypt the security
token file.
