Abstract
Last resort access to backups is disclosed. An encrypted backup associated with a first system or vault is stored in the backup associated with another system. If a key needed to decrypt a backup in the first vault is unavailable, an encrypted copy of a backup in the second vault may be used for the recovery operation. Incremental backups from the first and/or second vault, which may be difference incremental backups and may be unencrypted, may be used in the recovery operation.
