How to Backup Certificates

[furashgf]

I have found the Certificate Manager (C:\Windows\System32\certmgr.msc) utility, and a few articles mentioning it, but nothing that says how you can automatically (great) or manually (okay) export copies of all of the certificates for backup purposes.

OS: Windows 7 x64

Here is what Certificate Manager is for. See Export.

Thank you - that definitely answers my questions about how to export certificates. Too bad there's no way to do it automatically (as part of a backup)

There likely is a way by writing a VB script in Group Policy (requires W7 Professional or higher) but I wouldn't know how personally.
