What about backing it up? Or if the server disappears in a fire, the key would be gone for good and one would generate a new pub-priv key pair?
What about server whole disk snapshot backups; they'd include the key?

That's a good point
- GauntletWizard 6y agoYes, you should generate a new keypair if the server disappears in a fire. No, you should not do whole-disk backups, but if you do secure them properly.
- cutemonster 6y agoThanks! I like this, it's also simpler than such backups and keeping them safe
