BES Database Pass Phrase Protection

The BES database pass phrase or dual pass phrases secure the integrity of the BES primary database and the BES mirror database. This pass phrase or dual pass phrases must be created when the BES primary database is initialized after CA Tape Encryption is installed. The master pass phrase or dual pass phrases protect all the keys stored in the BES database.

Important! If you lose the pass phrase or dual pass phrases you will lose all encrypted data. Keep a record of the pass phrase or dual pass phrases in secured storage with restricted access.
