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

GPG: Import and export instructions

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.

Export keys and ownertrust

gpg --export --armor 1E0B5331219BEA88 > 1E0B5331219BEA88.pub.asc
gpg --export-secret-keys --armor 1E0B5331219BEA88 > 1E0B5331219BEA88.priv.asc
gpg --export-secret-subkeys --armor 1E0B5331219BEA88 > 1E0B5331219BEA88.sub_priv.asc

gpg --export-ownertrust > ownertrust.txt
