    Please Note: Backing up the certificate key pair is emphasized on our website and enrollment guide. The private key (which is the key file used to decrypt data) always remains on the your server. Entrust does not have access to this file. It is a key file that is generated in a special manner on the server. The file that Entrust issues is the signed public key used to encrypt data. Depending on the server, the key pair should always be backed up onto removable media storage. The public key will not work without the private key. If you have access to your original server, O/S backup, or can restore an O/S image that included the working SSL site, you can follow the Backing Up your SSL Certificate and Private Key sections for you server at http://www.entrust.net/ssl-technical/webserver.cfm.
