General Use; Encryption/Compression - HP BB118BV - StorageWorks Data Protector Express Package User's Manual & Technical Reference

Once a media is deleted or exported from the Data Protector Express catalog the passphrase is also
deleted. There are two main instances when the user needs to know the passphrase:
• When importing the media to another machine or another instance of Data Protector Express
• During disaster recovery
Passphrase management
Data may be stored for months or years, so passphrases must be archived securely. The user should keep
a record or backup of encryption passphrases and store them in a secure place separate from the
computer running Data Protector Express.
CAUTION:
If the user is unable to supply the passphrase when requested to do so, neither the user nor Data Protector
Express Support will be able to access the encrypted data.
