Abstract
The techniques presented herein provide for associating a data encryption lockbox backup with a data storage system. A first set of software system stable values (SSV) is derived from data storage system component values unique to the data storage system. A lockbox storing the first set of SSV and a set of encryption keys associated with a corresponding respective set of data storage system drives is created. Access to the lockbox requires providing a first minimum number of SSV that match corresponding SSV in the first set of SSV. A backup copy of the lockbox is created, wherein access to the backup copy requires providing a second minimum number of SSV that match corresponding SSV in the first set of SSV, wherein the minimum number of SSV is equal to a second match value. The backup copy of the lockbox is stored at a remote location.
