Archive keystore reference
Overview
External keystores mean that in the Code42 cloud you can store copies of users' encryption keys in your own keystore. In the Code42 console, the Archive Keystore view allows you to identify, monitor, configure, and move your keystore.
External keystores are not available in the Code42 federal environment.
For details about managing archive keystores, see Manage your archive keystore.
