Thanks for pointing that (obvious) part out to me. Sorry for not reading that first :-) This means that 'exposure' is now limited to only those moments that a restore from backup is needed, which is already much better. 'Ideal' however--to be 'truly paranoid' (TM)--, would be when it is possible to copy/paste the restore key in the terminal at the time of retrieving the backup. But my original question stays: Is it possible to copy/paste the key when needed in the terminal? thanks
