## Security Keys - Backup and Restore
### Backup
Public and private keys will be lost and regenerated by performing a firmware erase and reinstall. It is your responsibility to back up your keys to maintain encrypted direct messaging with existing nodes on your mesh.
Suggested backup methods:
1. With the [Meshtastic CLI](/docs/software/python/cli/), run: `meshtastic --export-config > config_backup.yaml` - this will save your entire configuration including your public and private keys to a file.
2. Copy the keys to a secure location, such as a password protected note.
3. Take a screenshot - the most basic way, you must ensure you saved the entirety of both keys.
### Restore
To restore your keys you may:
1. Use the Meshtastic CLI to run `meshtastic --config config_backup.yaml` - This is the fastest way to get your entire node back to where you left it!
2. Manually paste or retype the keys into the client app from your saved location.
