$ gpg --export --export-options backup > exported.gpg<br>
$ echo use-keyboxd ~/.gnupg/common.conf<br>
$ gpgconf -K all<br>
$ gpg --import --import-options restore < exported.gpg<br>
<br>
If you use a decent 2.4 version. If your version is older do<br>
<br>
$ gpg --export > exported.gpg<br>
$ mv ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx-old<br>
$ mv ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg-old<br>
$ gpg --import < exported.gpg<br>
