Hello Charlie, On Debian 10 busty - which I have now - you have "root" I simply log into root open the home folder go to user name folder list hidden files - then select the .gpg folder and copy that to a USB. You can do a weekly backup to USB. Then you can add it to whatever you want - but be in root to change the ownership to whatever the users called. when I do a --list-users t lists all my 186 keys :) David -- People Should Not Be Afraid Of Their Government - Their Government Should Be Afraid Of The People - When Injustice Becomes Law, REBELLION Becomes A DUTY!
