Instructions for exporting/importing (backup/restore) GPG keys

Every so often I have to restore my gpg keys and I'm never sure how best to do it. So, I've spent some time playing around with the various ways to export/import (backup/restore) keys.

Method 1

Backup the public and secret keyrings and trust database

cp ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg /path/to/backups/
cp ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg /path/to/backups/

or, instead of backing up trustdb...

# Goal: Allow addition of instances to a collection in a factory-built object
# when those instances require references to the parent.
# Typically occurs in Rails when one model has_many instances of another
# See more at:
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2937326/populating-an-association-with-children-in-factory-girl
class Factory
def has_many(collection)
# after_build is where you add instances to the factory-built collection.
