I think the GP is referring to this part:

> The priv key is NEVER written to disk on your system,it is then thrown away after transmission. The public key can be found on your local system here on a Windows PC (ask if you want to know on a Macintosh): C:\Program Files\Backblaze\userPub.pem This is a standard "OpenSSL PEM File" as decribed here: http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/pem.html#PEM_ENCRYPTION_F....

> You can read these files with Notepad or Wordpad, but be very very careful not to write out any changes or it will effectively destroy your backup -> make it unrecoverable/unreadable.

I think that quote is saying that if you modify your public key locally then the data you encrypt with it will no longer be decryptable by the private key you previously sent backblaze.

Cheers, I was, I should have quoted it.
