Explanation

Reporting Services provides the rskeymgmt utility that you can use to extract a copy of the encryption key from the report server database. The utility writes the key to a file that you specify, and then scrambles the key using a password that you provide. After the file is created, you must store it in a secure location and remember the password that is used to unlock the file.
