That good. Run gpg once to create a new .gnupg directory (or create it manually). Then copy the four files to the new private-keys-v1.d directory and you have restored the secret key material. Now you need to get a copy of your two (I guess) public keys. They should be on the keyservers or you have send them to other places, get a copy and gpg --import them. Better restart the gpg-agent (gpgconf --kill gpg-agent). That's it. If you can't find the public keys, there is no real damage because the nobody sent you encrypted data or nobody else cared to verify your data. > - i thought i will copy private-keys-v1.d back to the ./gnupg and everything > will be ok (like ssh) Partly. All the secrets are restored as I explained above. > Now i am i situation where i can not import “raw” keys and everytime > when i try to import private key i will get message like: No valid What do you mean by raw key? You are looking for files created with gpg --export or gpg --export --armor or with any other OpenPGP tool. You can implement such files with gpg --import Take care that they are not encrypted (some people do this) and that they are not gzipped etc. Using the extra option -v is always a good idea in such cases.
