i want to format my system and reinstall a minimal install or try crunchbang, is there a way to backup my keyring , so i can use it when i reinstall?,

In general, all of the settings are held in hidden files in your home directory. (Hidden means that they start with a ".").

You can fairly easily backup ALL of your settings by just preserving the home directory, e.g. using tar:

tar tvf home-backup.tar /home/<yourname>

Is what you're looking for to be found in /home/user/.gnome2/keyrings ?? My file contains default, default.keyring and login.keyring.
