This is just an example which I am taking, I am not sure with functioning of all, but it surely worked for taking backup of SSL certificate on my server. The process is small and simple.

Taking Backup of certificates:
1. Click “START / WINDOWS” on your desktop and click on “run”. Type “MMC” and hit enter.

2. Click on “Add/Remove snap-in” followed after click on “File” menu.
3. On new window, click on “Add” followed by selection of “certificate” which you want to backup.

4. Click add again, select computer account and click “finish”.

You can list the certificate you have backed up in “MMC” window as “Snap-Ins Added to” section.
You can save this MMC certificate for later use by duplicating it at some other location. Follow screenshots for details.

Next article will be demonstrating on how to restore the backed up certificates. If this is your first visit, please subscribe to our feed or bookmark the webpage to keep a track on all new articles.
