where are GPG private keys stored?

I have a couple of private keys that i use for signing emails,
i would like to back these up before i upgrade my distro so that i dont loose them,
i will be keeping my /home partition intact but nothing elce,


how would i ensure that my keys still exist after the upgrade?

"gpg -K" should tell you. By default in ~/.gnupg/
