  • 1.  Server Private key backup Recovery file creation

    Posted Feb 16, 2016 05:29 AM

    I am looking at migrating SEPM 12.1.RU2 to a new server. Can anyone please advise how I create Server Private Key Backup Recovery File?

    I have created a backup of the database from the Symantec Database Back Up and Restore tool but I do not belive this is the correct file as it was not located in S:\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Server Private Key Backup folder.

    Back up the disaster recovery file

    Update or back up the server certificate (optional)

    The recovery file includes the encryption password, keystore files domain ID, certificate files, license files, and port numbers. By default, the file is located in the following directory:

    Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager installation folder\Server Private Key Backup\recovery_timestamp.zip

    The recovery file only stores the default domain ID. If you have multiple domains, the recovery file does not store that information. If you need to perform disaster recovery, you must re-add the domains.

    See Adding a domain.

    If you update the self-signed certificate to a different certificate type, the management server creates a new recovery file. Because the recovery file has a timestamp, you can tell which file is the latest one.

    See Updating or restoring a server certificate.

    See Backing up a server certificate.

    I ended up running the Management Server Configuration client and it generated the Server private Key recovery file with date and time stamp.

    that's one way of doing it but its time consuming.
