Important
In addition to the file containing the exported key, you need the password for the
key file in order to import the key into the library. Without the key password, you
are not able to import the encryption key.
Important
You cannot import a key that was exported using M-of-N shares using the
BlueScale web interface. You must use multiple USB devices to import the key. If
the shares of the encrypted key were distributed as email attachments, the
required number of shares (M) must be copied to separate USB devices before the
key can be imported and used to decrypt and restore data.
