The client certificate is required to restore backed up encryption keys from a key management server.

CAUTION:
If you do not have the client certificate and the SVP is replaced due to a failure, you cannot restore the backed up data encryption keys.

  4. Click Finish.

    If you want the Tasks window to open after you click Apply, select Go to tasks window for status.
  6. Click Apply.
    The backup data encryption key is restored.
