Import KMS-files to a new NetBackup Master Server with already imported old catalog (NetBackup 8.2)
Hello, I need to restore virtual machines located on tape media that was encrypted with KMS. We have the following files available ...
db\KMS_DATA.dat
key\KMS_HMKF.dat
key\KMS_KPKF.dat
Is it true, that those files just need to be copied to the right place (the question is where is this place on a NetBackup server running on a Windows Server system?) and the 'NetBackup Key Management Service' needs to be started or are there other things to be considered?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Hi Didi7
Guidance can be found in Veritas NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide
About recovering KMS by restoring all data files
If you have made backup copies of the KMS_DATA.dat, KMS_HMKF.dat, and KMS_KPKF.dat files, it is just a matter of restoring these three files. Then startup the nbkms service and the KMS system will be up and running again.

On Windows the location is :
\Program Files\Veritas\kms\db\KMS_DATA.dat
\Program Files\Veritas\kms\key\KMS_HMKF.dat
\Program Files\Veritas\kms\key\KMS_KPKF.dat
