backup openvpn


Hi!
I am running openvpn on a Debian and a Fedora Box. If i want to backup all keys is it enough to save the /etc/openvpn direcotry? When the systems crash, i don't want to do anything with the clients.

Thanks.

You only need backup /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys.

My advice is not to back them up, and simply make new ones. This is good for security, as you can rotate your pass-phrases and avoid having keys lying around in potentially insecure places.
