Comment on How do you manage your encryption keys?

Good catch… and that’s why I keep up-to-date encrypted offline backups in two locations (home and office) always. That should be enough really, but I’ve been thinking about swapping one of those drives with a third backup at one of my relatives’ house from time to time, just to make irrecoverable failure even less likely.

So you keep an encrypted backup at work with the decryption key at home, and an encrypted backup at home with the decryption key at work?

  No, that would clearly defeat the purpose of redundant backups. I remember the passphrases for my backups.
