-Backups of secure hosts
-=======================
-
-When you back up a secure host, you should exclude the host's keytab
-file from the backup.  If someone obtained a copy of the keytab from a
-backup, that person could make any host masquerade as the host whose
-keytab was compromised.  In many configurations, knowledge of the
-host's keytab also allows root access to the host.  This could be
-particularly dangerous if the compromised keytab was from one of your
-KDCs.  If the machine has a disk crash and the keytab file is lost, it
-is easy to generate another keytab file.  (See :ref:`add_princ_kt`.)
-If you are unable to exclude particular files from backups, you should
-ensure that the backups are kept as secure as the host's root
-password.

-Backing up the Kerberos database
---------------------------------
-
-As with any file, it is possible that your Kerberos database could
-become corrupted.  If this happens on one of the slave KDCs, you might
-never notice, since the next automatic propagation of the database
-would install a fresh copy.  However, if it happens to the master KDC,
-the corrupted database would be propagated to all of the slaves during
-the next propagation.  For this reason, MIT recommends that you back
-up your Kerberos database regularly.  Because the master KDC is
-continuously dumping the database to a file in order to propagate it
-to the slave KDCs, it is a simple matter to have a cron job
-periodically copy the dump file to a secure machine elsewhere on your
-network.  (Of course, it is important to make the host where these
-backups are stored as secure as your KDCs, and to encrypt its
-transmission across your network.)  Then if your database becomes
-corrupted, you can load the most recent dump onto the master KDC.
-(See :ref:`restore_from_dump`.)
