I generally do this ( cp .gnupg on floppy to have it at home and at work= ). I never had problems with this. I suppose It's a good mean to backup an important thing. The biggest problem is it's a little bit unsecured to have your=20 .gnupg on floppy. --=20 cordialement, William WAISSE fpr =3D 9CCD 7DA2 7050 8805 F471 03D1 DF76= B78C=20 690B 4E07 -- Computers are like air conditionners.
