Excellent! Thanks for pointing that (obvious) part out to me.
Sorry for not reading that first :-)

This means that 'exposure' is now limited to only those moments that
a restore from backup is needed, which is already much better.

'Ideal' however--to be 'truly paranoid' (TM)--, would be when it is possible to copy/paste the restore key in the terminal at the time of
retrieving the backup.
But my original question stays: Is it possible to copy/paste the key
when needed in the terminal?

thanks
