backup a single key pair

Keytool can export certificates, but they do not include the key pair entry. How can I extract a single private/public key pair and use it in a different keystore in another machine?

As far as I know you can't. Why can't you just copy the keystore?

In JDK 6 keytool has a new command called -importkeystore.

In any case moving a private key around is conceptually invalid. A private key is supposed to be unique to its holder. Otherwise it is worthless as it isn't private. So for example any digital signature generated by it is legally repudiable.
