   <title>Securely back-up your keys</title>
 
+  <p>It is always advisable to have a copy of your public keys, private keys
+  and revocation certificates stored safely in an external memory device like a
+  USB. The device should then be kept locked or stored somewhere safe. This
+  way you will always have a copy of the key if your hard disk crashes or the
+  data on your computer is corrupted in some way and you can continue to unlock
+  your encrypted data with the external copy of the key.</p>
+
+  <note style="info">
+    <p>Even if your public key has been
+    <link xref="keys-publish">published</link>, save a copy of it because
+    sometimes a <link xref="key-servers-what-are-they">key server</link> may be
+    corrupted or may not be available.</p>
+  </note>
