Description

File: [pro/linux/openpgp-keygen-backup.rst] https://docs.nitrokey.com/pro/linux/openpgp-keygen-backup

The keytocard command used in the next steps will delete your key from your disk!

on which distribution has it been tested ? because on latest fedora version and ubuntu and debian it does not delete the key anymore from the HDD. Or do you mean that it won't be able to be eexported to another nitrokey because being associated with a specific ID of nitrokey?

Research direction

Start with pro/linux/openpgp-keygen-backup.rst and compare its keytocard statement with the reported behavior on Fedora, Ubuntu, and Debian. Determine whether the documentation should describe key removal or the inability to export the key to another Nitrokey; done when the wording accurately reflects the tested behavior.
