Back up Key Trustee Server using Cloudera Manager
Cloudera Manager versions 5.8 and higher, when used with Key Trustee Server versions 5.7 and higher, allow for backups of the KT Server.
The actions executed in this procedure are equivalent to running the
ktbackup.sh script on the node in question (see Back up Key
Trustee Server using the ktbackup.sh script
for additional details).
In addition, when using the HDFS Encryption Wizard in Cloudera Manager 5.8 or higher
to install and configure Key Trustee Server versions 5.7 and higher, a
cron job is automatically set up to back up the Key Trustee
Server on an ongoing basis. See Initializing Standalone Key Trustee Server
for more detail.
To back up the KT Server service configuration using Cloudera Manager:
- Select the KT Server service configuration that you want to back up.
- For a KT Server backup, select Create Backup on Active Server (or Create Backup on Passive Server) from the Actions menu.
