This is because it needs to be re-encrypted because the storage format is different. So you could do the first one manually every time you add (or remove) private keys or change a passphrase. Anything else, including changing key preferences, key expiry, etcetera, is equally reflected in public-keys.gpg from the second line. The second can be done regularly and automatically. Do back up other stuff from that directory as well. It's important, non-public data: your ownertrust declarations, TOFU bindings and history. You might want to omit the file random_seed. I forgot how important this is these days. I believe it has gotten less important at some time. But using Sherpa is probably a good bet. HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
