Description

|
If repository encryption is used, the repository is inaccessible
|
||
|
|
without the key. This command allows to backup this essential key.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two backup formats. The normal backup format is suitable for
|
||
|
|
digital storage as a file. The ``--paper`` backup format is optimized
|
||
|
|
for printing and typing in while importing, with per line checks to
|
||
|
|
reduce problems with manual input.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For repositories using keyfile encryption the key is saved locally
|
||
|
|
on the system that is capable of doing backups. To guard against loss
|
||
|
|
of this key, the key needs to be backed up independently of the main
|
||
|
|
data backup.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For repositories using the repokey encryption the key is saved in the
|
||
|
|
repository in the config file. A backup is thus not strictly needed,
|
||
|
|
but guards against the repository becoming inaccessible if the file
|
||
|
|
is damaged for some reason.
