Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You enable transparent data encryption (TDE) in SQL Server.

  • You use asymmetric encryption keys to protect the backup of the SQL Server database.

  • You store the asymmetric encryption keys in the SQL Server Extensible Key Management (EKM) provider.

  • You restore the backup of the SQL Server database.

In this scenario, it may take a long time to complete the restore, due to unnecessary communications with the EKM provider.
