Comments

The REK file is encrypted using the administration key set with the SET-ADMIN-KEY command. The administration key can only be used on the host system on which it has been created. SAVE-REK allows you to create a file that is encrypted with a different key so that can be copied to another database - its contents can then be copied into the REK file using LOAD-REK.
