Enabling and configuring automatic key generation
When automatic key generation is enabled, the library will automatically request the key server
token to generate a new key periodically, according to the policy you configure. Be aware that
when new keys are created automatically they are not backed up until you do so manually. To
avoid only having one copy of the new key, set the automatic key generation policy for a time
when you can back up the new key before tapes are written using the new key.
