It's important that local accounts are properly backed up for disaster recovery. The local keystore files are encrypted with the specified account password and stored in the keystore directory. To copy this file to your local machine you may use ssh:
ssh USERNAME@IPADDRESS "sudo cat /root/.celo/keystore/<KEYSTORE_FILE>" > ./nodeIdentity
You can then back this file up to a cloud storage for redundancy.
Warning: It's important that you use a strong password to encrypt this file since it will be held in potentially insecure environments.
