Description

The Backup-AzKeyVaultKey cmdlet backs up a specified key in a key vault by downloading it and storing it in a file. If there are multiple versions of the key, all versions are included in the backup. Because the downloaded content is encrypted, it cannot be used outside of Azure Key Vault. You can restore a backed-up key to any key vault in the subscription that it was backed up from. Typical reasons to use this cmdlet are:

  • You want to escrow a copy of your key, so that you have an offline copy in case you accidentally delete your key in your key vault.

  • You created a key using Key Vault and now want to clone the key into a different Azure region, so that you can use it from all instances of your distributed application. Use the Backup-AzKeyVaultKey cmdlet to retrieve the key in encrypted format and then use the Restore-AzKeyVaultKey cmdlet and specify a key vault in the second region.

Examples

Example 1: Back up a key with an automatically generated file name

Backup-AzKeyVaultKey -VaultName 'MyKeyVault' -Name 'MyKey'

C:\Users\username\mykeyvault-mykey-1527029447.01191

This command retrieves the key named MyKey from the key vault named MyKeyVault and saves a backup of that key to a file that is automatically named for you, and displays the file name.

Example 2: Back up a key to a specified file name

Backup-AzKeyVaultKey -VaultName 'MyKeyVault' -Name 'MyKey' -OutputFile 'C:\Backup.blob'

C:\Backup.blob

This command retrieves the key named MyKey from the key vaultnamed MyKeyVault and saves a backup of that key to a file named Backup.blob.

Example 3: Back up a previously retrieved key to a specified file name, overwriting the destination file without prompting.

$key = Get-AzKeyVaultKey -VaultName 'MyKeyVault' -Name 'MyKey'
Backup-AzKeyVaultKey -Key $key -OutputFile 'C:\Backup.blob' -Force

C:\Backup.blob

This command creates a backup of the key named $key.Name in the vault named $key.VaultName to a file named Backup.blob, silently overwriting the file if it exists already.
