Restoring From an Encrypted Backup

If your minidisk or directory was encrypted when it was backed up, CA VM:Backup displays ** Encrypted ** next to the virtual address or directory reference number on the file selection and Select Version of Minidisk or Directory to Restore screens. This descriptor is displayed for all encrypted minidisks even if the minidisk was backed up in physical (** Non-CMS **) or CMSALLOC format.

CA VM:Backup will ask you to enter a security key before restoring the data. The security key is the data encryption key specified by the CA VM:Backup system administrator when your data was backed up. When CA VM:Backup prompts you for the security key, you must enter the complete and correct security key before CA VM:Backup can process your restore request. If you do not know the security key, contact the CA VM:Backup system administrator.
