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?

I just spent a lot of time on this very annoying problem. On Windows, if you do not specify a full path when you create the keystore, Eclipse will hide it in its own directory. So in my case it was C:\eclipse\mykeystore
