how to backup machine keys of the server
Updated: 28 May 2010 | 5 comments
We are taking All Local drives backup for most of the server.
At times we are asked to restore the machine keys. but we don't find any folder with name Machinekeys under C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\
I suppose since the machine keys are in encrypted form so they are not backed up. Is there any ways we can backup machine keys also. with normal file system backup
