System passphrase usage in backups and station copies
The system passphrase is required when using either the Distribution File Installer to restore a backup .dist file, or the Station Copier to transfer a local file
Note the following:
- If the file passphrase and system passphrase are the same, the station copy proceeds without prompting for a passphrase.
- If the passphrase for the bog file is not the same as the passphrase for the target host platform then you are prompted to
enter the bog file’s passphrase, as shown below.
The above dialog is prompting you to enter the bog file’s passphrase.

NOTE:- If you do not know the passphrase for a BOG file, you can edit it offline.
- If you do not know the passphrase for a .dist file you cannot install it.
