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...

Why Remux Blu-rays?
-You use MPC-HC (or similar DShow players) and standard filters for playback. You can also use better quality renderers like Haali, EVR and madVR.
-You get the ease of playback of a re-encode without the quality loss. A double click off the .mkv will start the movie - no annoying warnings, loading screens, previews and setup menus.
-You don't have to deal with horribly bloated, unstable and expensive PowerDVD or Arcsoft playback software.
-You don't have to mess with ISO creation, correct BD folder structure, UDF and SPTD drivers, and image mounting every time you want to watch a movie.
-You never have to worry about the region code setting of a disc.
-You never have to worry about HDCP or PAP content protection.
-You never have to worry about your software player downsampling your audio - get full bit-depth and frequency resolution, 24bit/96kHz or higher, not 16/48.
