Followup. Due to many reasons, I was unable to attempt a backup to my S3 account. Today, with the copied key, the backup failed:
Error accessing possibly locked file /Users/sm123/Private/.Trashes GPGError: GPG Failed, see log below: ===== Begin GnuPG log ===== gpg: 81670CBA: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: unusable public key ===== End GnuPG log ===== I have tried to edit the key and given it a trust level of 5. No use. How do I fix this ? On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 10:09 AM, Madhusudan Singh < singh.madhusu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am new to using GPG.
