Losing the keyfile is a real concern for me as well, and makes me prefer less secure options like Dropbox or Ubuntu One. What do others do about this?

I don't know what all tarsnap users are doing, but I've heard the following options on several occasions: 1. Give it to a friend. 2. Put it on a USB key. 3. Store it on a different computer. 4. Print it out (recent versions of tarsnap have printable key files).
