       This command restores a key previously backed up with the export command.

       If  the  --paper option is given, the import will be an interactive process in which each line is checked
       for plausibility before proceeding to the next line. For this format PATH must not be given.

       For repositories using keyfile encryption, the key file which  borgkeyimport  writes  to  depends  on
       several  factors. If the BORG_KEY_FILE environment variable is set and non-empty, borgkeyimport creates
       or  overwrites  that  file  named  by  $BORG_KEY_FILE.  Otherwise,  borgkeyimport  searches  in   the
       $BORG_KEYS_DIR  directory  for  a  key  file  associated  with  the repository. If a key file is found in
       $BORG_KEYS_DIR, borgkeyimport overwrites it; otherwise, borgkeyimport  creates  a  new  key  file  in
       $BORG_KEYS_DIR.
