Loosing Blogs and PGP Key
Posted by hatim
You know when you keep on delaying things, it has a tendency to bite back. I was posting drafts of my blog entries for the entire month of December in my laptop. But then I do the ultimate blunder of plainly deleting the folder. Even at this point lesson was not learnt. I was suppose to recover my laptop back to its factory state (ie Windows) and I forgot to backup my private PGP keys. This is the second time within one year that I have lost my PGP keys this way. I never backed them up on my server. I guess the best way to ensure that keys are never lost is to print the private key.
But life still goes on. All I have are few unused public keys on to global PGP servers, but atleast the key which matters is posted on my own site. I really need to look into some good backup solutions (other than online)
