Comment on Copying login keychains between Macs fails on Secure Enclave Macs with Tahoe

Comments

Does the macoOS login keychain get backed up by Time Machine backups in a way that could restore the keychain if the original machine's Secure Enclave is lost or destroyed?

Yes

in a way that could restore the keychain if the original machine's Secure Enclave is lost or destroyed?

Apparently not

"Apparently"? Is this something that can be tested with VMs?

I've tested with VMs. However, I'm unclear about the relationship if any between VMs and the secure enclave.
