## Use the Storage Device as backup and reusable enviroment
|

|

As you may want to keep a offline backup of your keys as well as a clean enviroment to be set up easily, you also might consider to keep your USB-Storage device including the keys in a save place. Therefore, just set your desired GNUPGHOME-Variable:
