Are security certificates backed up
For security reasons, security certificates are not backed up during backups. Certificates are automatically deleted when NetBackup is uninstalled. If required, you can manually back them up before you uninstall NetBackup.
For more information on retaining the host ID-based certificates, refer to the NetBackup Security and Encryption Guide.
