I'm using git annex assistant to auto backup my pictures off-site to glacier. The files in glacier are encrypted. However, if I lose my main machine, I've also lost the encryption key, which makes my off-site backup useless. I figured I could fix this by creating a manual mode remote on a usb drive that I keep on my keychain. I figured this would replicate the encryption key (as I might want to pull down files from the full backup glacier remote), but would not replicate the files themselves, as I have more pictures than space on the usb drive.
However, it seems the that the new remote is configured to only talk to my main machine and not glacier; the encryption key is not in the .git/ directory. How do I ensure that I've got an off-site copy of the glacier encryption key?
Thanks,
Craig
