ESTORING
Restoring encrypted data from tape follows the standard data restore
processes that you use with your backup software. The only difference is
that the key used to encrypt the data being restored needs to be on the
library and assigned to the partition in which the encrypted media is
loaded. If the key is available, the data is automatically decrypted as it is
read from tape; standard restore procedures simply work.
If the encryption key required for a specific set of encrypted data has been
exported from the library and then deleted, the library prompts you with
the moniker of the key that is required to decrypt the data. You can use the
key moniker to identify the key, then import the key into the library as
described in this section.

encryption key. Without the key password, you will not be able to import the
encryption key.
Endura Decryption Utility (EDU) is an optional command-line encryption
utility which provides a method that lets you restore data without loading
the media into the library. See
