devices, eject the USB device after a share has been written to it, and at every
prompt, insert another USB device.
After the shares have been written, insert each USB device into the library, one
by one, and select
Check Key Files
. If you are not sure if the key has been
copied correctly, delete all data from the USB device so that no trace of the

need both the password and the encrypted file containing the key to
import the encryption key.
