Question of the Day

Backing up the Database Encryption Key

In my SQL Server 2022 database, I run this: 

USE Sales;  
GO  
CREATE DATABASE ENCRYPTION KEY  
WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256  
ENCRYPTION BY SERVER CERTIFICATE MyServerCert;  
GO
This works, but I want to prepare for the future and potential issues. How do I back up my DEK?
