Backing Up and Restoring Configurations, Images, and Profiles (Single Mode)
Step 11 If you are backing up an identity certificate, you are asked to enter a separate passphrase to be used for
encoding the certificates in PKCS12 format. You can enter a passphrase or skip this step.
Note Identify certificates are backed up by this process; however, certificate authority certificates are
not backed up. For instructions on backing up CA certificates, see the “Backing Up the Local
CA Server” section on page 80-16.
• To encrypt certificates, enter and confirm your certificate passphrase in the Certificate Passphrase
dialog box and click OK. You will need to remember the password you enter in this dialog box when
restoring the certificates.
• Clicking Cancel skips the step and does not back up certificates.
After clicking OK or cancel, the backup begins immediately.
Step 12 After the backup is complete, the status window closes and the Backup Statistics dialog box appears to
provide success and failure messages.
