It's generally sensible to back up your keys. For Parity, this is simply a case of copying a particular directory. Here's how:
cd $HOME/.parity/keys && tar czf $HOME/Desktop/parity-keys-backup.tgz * && cd -You will get a file parity-keys-backup.tgz in your Desktop path (which should therefore show up on your desktop). You can move it wherever you want - a USB pen drive might be sensible.
To restore from a previous backup:
cd $HOME/.parity/keys && tar xzf $HOME/Desktop/parity-keys-backup.tgz && cd -Simple.
