When a backup shows: [Included, but without correct passphrase] in the [Confidential data] field, the configured passphrase does not match the passphrase used to encrypt the confidential data.
The confidential data cannot be restored as long as the passphrases do not match.
IMPORTANT
You are advised to configure the same passphrase on all printers to prevent that the backup passphrase and the printer passphrase do not match.
Example:
Confidential data not ready to restore
Confidential data ready to restoreWhen you want to restore the confidential data, you must know the passphrase that has been used to encrypt the confidential data.
Click [Configure confidential data] and use the [Passphrase for confidential data] and [Confirm passphrase] fields to enter the passphrase that has been used to encrypt the confidential data.
Now the confidential data status is [Included], the data can be restored.
IMPORTANT
Restore the previous passphrase, in case the previous passphrase has been used for later exports.
Printers with a previous software version may not support secure export of confidential data by means of a phassphrase.
When a backup with confidential data has been created on a printer with a previous printer software version and then imported into a printer with passphrase encryption, the status of the confidential data becomes: [Included, but in legacy format] .
Although the confidential data has not been encrypted with a phassphrase, the confidential data can be restored. However, it is not possible to export this backup again.
NOTE
In case you want to export the confidential data from a backup with status: [Included, but in legacy format], first restore the backup and then create a new backup with confidential data. When you export the new backup, the configured passphrase encrypts the confidential data. The backup in legacy format can now be deleted.
