  In my case, it is a secret ring containing all my secret keys... I
have many keys (maybe more than I should have). But you can export your
key, backup your secring.gpg file (maybe by adding a .bak extension to
it) and then import the secret key, a new secring.gpg will be created,
and you can use it in the pendrive. Don't forget to restore your
original secring... By the way, it would be a good idea to make a backup
of your pubring.gpg and trustdb.gpg too, since removing the private keys
can mess the trust calculated...

  Best Regards
