<title>Securely back-up your keys</title>
+ <p>It is always advisable to have a copy of your public keys, private keys
+ and revocation certificates stored safely in an external memory device like a
+ USB. The device should then be kept locked or stored somewhere safe. This
+ way you will always have a copy of the key if your hard disk crashes or the
+ data on your computer is corrupted in some way and you can continue to unlock
+ your encrypted data with the external copy of the key.</p>
+
+ <note style="info">
+ <p>Even if your public key has been
+ <link xref="keys-publish">published</link>, save a copy of it because
+ sometimes a <link xref="key-servers-what-are-they">key server</link> may be
+ corrupted or may not be available.</p>
+ </note>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>To back-up your keys:</title>
