## Creating clusters from backups

* **Tip**\
  To create a HSM in this cluster that contains the same users, key material, certificates, configuration, and policies that were in the backup that you restored, [add a HSM](https://github.com/kevinslin/aws-reference-notes/blob/main/services/aws_cloud_hsm/add-remove-hsm.md#add-hsm) to the cluster.
