  <title>Backing up keystores</title>
  <shortdesc>Because updates to an Android package (APK) must be signed with the same key as the original APK was signed
    with, it is extremely important that you keep a copy of all of your signing keys. The Signing and Keys view provides
    a simple mechanism to back up and then restore one or more keystores to a zip archive file.</shortdesc>
