GBDE container file backup question

Hi,
Apologies in advance if this isn't the right place to be asking
this question:

I've got a gbde partition based on an image file, private.img.
I also have a lock file as per the instructions - /etc/gbde/md9

It's all working fine, but I want to be able to back it up somehow.

If I back up private.img and /etc/gbde/md9, is that everything I
need to do to be able to restore the encrypted partition? The lock
file seems awfully small to be an encryption key (compared to the
PGP keys I'm familiar with).

What about the 'keys' mentioned in the handbook  - I created 2 keys
during the init, but I'm not sure where they are. Are they
analagous to my PGP private keys, or what? Do I need to back them
up somewhere? Do they have the same password?

Any advice appreciated.


Yours,
Mark
