SSKM reset, problems with new backups

Question

Hi there, i have successfully reset the SSKM as described here. Reset secure storage master key - Sophos Firewall Created new backup and tried to restore it on replacement firewall. But i get the error message that the SSKM is wrong. Do i have to restart the firewall where this SSKM reset was done ? 
 thanks for any help here.

 I think i have found the bug. On the appliance where this SSKM reset was performed, the backup mode was set to "Email". After i switched to "Local" and saved the change, the newly created backup was encrypted with the new SSKM key. Either there is a problem with the backup mode "Email" or it was enough to simply save the backup again.
