Adding a Key

Each key in a keyring is assigned to a period when it is applicable for backup and migrate jobs. At any time, only one key in a keyring is applicable. The other keys in a keyring, although retired, may still be needed for restore and migrate jobs.

To add a key to a keyring, follow the procedure below.

  1. Open the Enterprise Information view by clicking the gear icon in the header.

  2. Go to the Keyrings tab. The tab lists all keyrings created by the DPX administrator.

  1. Hover over the keyring and click the edit icon . The Edit Keyring dialog window will open.

  1. Click Add new key. A new key will be added to the keyring.

Note. The previous key in the keyring is automatically retired. However, it still can be used to access backups encrypted using the key.

Removing a Key

Important. Generally, removing keys or keyrings from DPX is not recommended, as removing the key will make it impossible to restore data from backups created using the removed key.

  1. Click theicon. You will be prompted to confirm your choice.

  1. Type the key ID to confirm, then click Remove. The key will be permanently removed from the keyring.
