Backup encryption key

[Yuval Hager]

Hi,

I've been considering encrypting my backups (e.g. using duplicity), but I am 
always afraid to lose the backup key when I lose the data I need to 
restore. This has the unfortunate implications of practically having no 
backups at all.

I'd like to ask the list, when you backup your data (and you do, don't 
you?) - do you use encryption? If so, what measures do you take to ensure 
the key is safer than the data itself?

Cheers,
