I'd say it depends on what algorithm TB uses for its own
encryption. If it only uses a passphrase, transportation is
easy as long as you use the same passphrase in both
instances. If TB also uses random data for stronger
encryption, it won't work, since that random information
won't be the same on the two machines.
Does anybody know what algorithm TB uses to protect mail
with?
