Updating a key from a Backup

Learn how to update a key from a backup using the OCI Console.

Note

The only type of encryption key that you can back up is a master encryption key protected by a hardware security module (HSM). This topic doesn't apply to keys protected by software.
  1. On the Master Encryption Keys list page, find the key that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Keys.
  2. Select the name of the key you want to update to see its details page.
  3. Select Actions, then select Update Key from Backup.
  4. Select a backup source. You can import a vault backup from the following sources: an Object Storage bucket, a preauthenticated Object Storage URL, or a file on your local machine or a mapped network location.
  5. Do one of the following, depending on what you chose in the previous step:
    • Select a bucket from the dropdown menu. If needed, you can change the compartment to find a bucket in a different compartment. Then, use the Select a file to select the file that contains the backup you're using for the key update.
    • Select Object Storage URL, and then provide a preauthenticated Object Storage URL to the file that contains the backup you're using for the key update.
    • Using Upload a file, drag a file or select one from your local machine or a mapped network location.
