Create a Core Security Backup

Create a core security backup to backs up root key material. Use a core security backup in combination with a database backup to restore a cluster after a disaster.

Always create a new core security backup after modifying the key split credentials. You must back up core security key material before creating a database backup.

Caution:

Carefully protect core security backup files. Any core security backup file can be used with any backup file/backup key file pair, therefore even old core security backup files remain useful.
