    - ``conf-mms.properties`` and ``gen.key`` files to a 
      secure location. The ``conf-mms.properties`` stores settings
      for the |onprem| instance. The :ref:`gen.key <gen-key>` 
      provides details to encrypt and decrypt |onprem|\s
      backing databases and user credentials. |onprem| might delete 
      these files as part of the upgrade process.
