Manual Backup of the Security File

Even with the CA Top Secret automatic backup feature in effect, it may be necessary to use TSSBCKUP to copy the backup security file to tape. If your site has only one copy of the backup security file, run TSSBCKUP prior to using the TSSRECVR utility. This prevents loss of data in the case of hardware malfunction and provides a reserve copy of the backup security file on tape.

TSSBCKUP should be set up to back up the security file by default. If it is necessary to back up any of the other CA Top Secret files specify the correct file when executing the task.

Example: Manual security file backup

This example execute TSSBCKUP for the security file:

S TSSBCKUP
