- To run the node with `OfflineMasterKey 1` you need to copy all the

more precisely: a relay in "OfflineMasterKey 1" mode requires 3 files: (this is the absolute minimum):
ed25519_signing_cert ed25519_signing_secret_key
Here you list only 2 files, which one is the third?
since I'm copying also the RSA key I initially wrote "3" but since it is not required I removed it (it gets generated if there is none)
You must keep the same pair of RSA and ed25519 keys. Or you must create new RSA and ed25519 keys at the same time.
If you don't, your relay will be rejected from the network some time soon.
Reminder: When you play around with this feature: always make sure to keep your Ed25519 + RSA keys. If your Ed25519 key changes while the RSA key remains, your relay will be rejected since these keys are pinned (for security).
I should keep the files:
secret_id_key secret_onion_key secret_onion_key_ntor secret_onion_key_ntor.old secret_onion_key.oldshould be kept of the relay, do they matter?
keep the /keys subfolder of your datadir and you are fine (you don't need them all but it does not hurt)
You should keep the onion keys because clients use them to connect to your relay. If you don't, it will take a few hours for clients to learn the new ones.
