I started a backup via duplicity without giving it any options. I haven't created any GPG keys myself, so when I ran duplicity, it asked me for a passphrase, then created a key, and successfully backed-up (to BackBlaze B2) with encryption and compression.
Good, but I don't know where the key is stored. Thus if my drive dies then I won't be able to restore the backup. gpg -k gives no output. Where's the key hiding?

If your (secret) key does exist then it is in the secret keyring of the user used to create the key. That user's keyrings are in a directory named '.gnupg' which is in that user's home directory.
So the secret key would be here for the user that created it:
~/.gnupg/secring.gpg
However, based on what you wrote, chances are duplicity just used a symmetric key which only consists of the passphrase you entered.

Haha! I was thinking that GPG was symmetric. (I'm really unfamiliar with crypto ^^;) OK, so in other words, duplicity probably encrypted via a deterministic cipher whose sole argument/secret was the passphrase that I gave, and it doesn't use keys nor entropy at all?

Forgot to mention: my ~/.gnupg directory does not contain a secring.gpg file.
