Chris,
You don't keep the "key" on the USB, you can back-up the "Key-Store" to a USB, and then restore that key store to another Tivoli Key Life Cycle manager, which attaches to the tape drive to do the restore.
Remember, never keep your backup of your keystore with your backup tapes. Defeats the purpose. Someone takes the tapes and the key store and they have everything. Like keeping your Car key in the ignition when you park your car (For the older cars that still have keys and not Fobs).

Most tape drives that support hardware encryption have a place for you to enter the encryption key. The key can be stored on the drive itself or a USB key, or in your key database on your iSeries. Key management is necessary to recover a system from encrypted keys. You will need a copy of the key on the remote server, tape drive or a spare USB key. I personally like the USB key.
