Backing up HA & AAA secret keys.

Do the same thing with the AAA shared secret & you're good to go.

You can save that note file to your laptop, a flash drive, the card in your phone or anywhere you want. If you lose data connection, copy the note file into the phone (or retrieve it from the card & reverse the above procedure & paste the info back in.

This works perfectly, I have done it probably six times now.

I noticed there are some binary characters in there that show up as squares... do these copy properly??? I was using PHM Notepad and they appear as squares in there too.. just wondering if the copy/paste copies everything properly or not...

I haven't done a *228 or had the need to restore keys from any ROM flashes yet... honestly the only time this should ever ben an issue is if doing a radio I believe... in any event, would be good to know I have them saved properly if it does happen.

Yes, I did this with my old TP and John's process works perfectly.

I wondered about that too (the code looks like hieroglyphics) but it copies & pastes just fine.
