How do I go about retaining my GPG/PGP key after a reinstall of
Debian?
I used to have it so that my GPG key would automatically ask me to
sign when replying to any email, but now I don't have my GPG key
anymore.
Should I generate a new key, or should I use the old one? How would I
go about getting the old one back?
If you are using
http://www.gnupg.org/
usually you have the folder called .gnupg in your home directory.
you need to backup that folder before a re-install and restore it.
If you have not done the backup and installed over the same partition
after formatting it with a file system then it is lost.
maybe you could try using
http://www.sleuthkit.org/
to recover the files but I am not sure how far it will be succesful
over a formatted partition
Kind Regards
