5 At the Password prompt, enter your password. A message displays alerting you that
the SKM key server will be stopped.
6 Type and press <Enter> to agree to stop the SKM key server. The list of SKM
y
Admin commands displays.
7 At the command prompt, enter 7 to
8 Press <Enter>. Backup files are created and consolidated into a single file, whose
name and location are displayed on the screen.
9 Note the name and location of the backup file:
/home/akmadmin/backups/SKM<version>KeyServer<serial
number><date><time>.tgz
For example:
/home/akmadmin/backups/SKM2_0KeyServerJ1144W802152017123429.tgz
10 Use SFTP to copy the backup files to a desired location.
Caution: You must copy the backup file to another location and not just leave it
on the SKM server. This is so that, if the SKM server fails, you can
restore the backup from the remote location onto the new server.

Keep track of which backup file applies to which server so you know
which one to restore in the event that you lose a server. To further help
you identify the particular server, this backup file also contains the SKM
server's serial number.
Caution: Do not use SKM to encrypt the sole copy of your SKM server
backup. If both servers were to fail, you would not be able to recover
the encrypted backup and would lose all data you had stored on all
your encrypted tapes.
11 Press <Enter>. The SKM Admin commands menu displays.
12 At the command prompt, type q and press <Enter> to quit SKM Admin commands
and restart the SKM key server.
