   There is currently no way to securely and automatically backup and restore the store content, but it is something we can look at as a future enhancement.

   For now you would have to write our own backup/restore using the SecretManagement 'Get-SecretInfo','Get-Secret' cmdlets, to loop through and obtain the secrets and then store in a secure location such as Azure KeyVault.

   This is crucial requirement for multiple use cases

   • Backup secrets (so its not lost when system is rebuilt)
   • Move or clone secrets from one machine to another
   • Migrate from SecretStore to AzureVault (or any other extension)

   I have written a simple module to address these use cases. But would prefer if it gets implemented with official module. Also, I believe this should be SecretManagement module feature rather than SecretStore Extension.
