Hello,
when i inspect aziot-identityd in the linux-journal, I always see the entry "Provisioned with backup for <.....>"
I'm using DPS with x509 CA authentication.
I would like to know what is causing this, or why a "backup" is used?
And what kind of "backup" is this referring to? A certificate?
It's unclear for me if this is normal behaviour or not.
It's not an error and not a warning. But why is a "backup" used then? What is it talking about?
