 Automated processes often need access to all the decrypted files. This is easy too. For example, suppose Git is being used for Puppet files. The master needs access to the decrypted version of all the files. Simply set up a GPG key for the Puppet master (or the role account that pushes new files to the Puppet master) and have that user run `blackbox_postdeploy` after any files are updated.

-WARNING: New versions of GPG generate keys which are not understood by
-old versions of GPG.  If you generate a key with a new version of GPG,

-Therefore it is recommended that you either assure that everyone using
-Blackbox have the exact same version of GPG, or generate GPG keys

-everyone using Blackbox.

For example, keep the backup copy on a USB drive that is locked in safe.  Or, at least put it on a secure machine with little or no internet access, full-disk-encryption, etc. Your employer probably has rules about how to store such things.
