You could change: gpg -a --export-secret-keys [key-id] > secret_key.txt to: gpg -a --export-secret-keys [key-id] >> secret_key.txt With this, it will append each successive key to the end of the text file. Not the cleanest solution though. Daniel mentioned a tool meant for this purpose called paperkey in his response. I've never used it but it seems like it's definitely worth looking into if you want paper backups. As he mentioned, typing in a key manually is a PITA, especially if it has a lot of signatures and depending on the key length. The public key is derived from the private key, so the private key(s) is/are all you need since it contains all information associated with that key. -- Antony Prince Key ID: 0xAF3D4087301B1B19 Fingerprint: 591F F17F 7A4A A8D0 F659 C482 AF3D 4087 301B 1B19 URL: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xAF3D4087301B1B19
