Where does Eclipse hide the keystore?

Question

I'm surprisingly frustrated by this, and I suspect the answer is simple.

I have compiled and signed my android app using the Export Wizard, as described here in the section 'Compile and sign with Eclipse ADT'.

I would like to backup the keystore and have it handy for future app updates, but I can't figure out for the life of me where the keystore is saved. I of course can use Eclipse to go through the process, but if something happens to my computer I'll be pretty screwed.

Does anyone know where it is stored?

It doesn't hide it. One of the first steps of the export (where you create or use existing keystore) asks you where you want to save it. You might want to go through the export steps again to see which path it is currently defaulted to and then check there.

It is typically saved with the name key (no extension).
