BackupExec 11d - encryption key

Hi,
I am using BackupExec 11d on Win2003 Server R2.

I set up my backup sets to be encrypted with an encryption key created on Job properties --> Network and Security --> Encryption key

Now, my concern is: what if my server will crash ? I mean, I tried a restore with encrypted media on current server and all works fine .. but what if I have to rebuild the server ? Will my media be readable from other server ? I obviously know the password ... but when and where do I have to re-create encryption keys ? And how can I use them in a restore job ?

Thanks for help !

To re-enter the encryption keys go to Tools - Options -  Network and Security.  Click on Manage Keys and you will be able to enter in your keys.  Once the key has been placed here you will be able to use it for restoring encrypted data.
