   As long as you remember to keep of copy of the key file, yes.   
   (/etc/cryptmount/.key)   
   Each encrypted "partition" you give a name, which I have called   
      
   So lets say I call the encrypted partition koticbck, The file in which the   
   encrypted partition sits in the file on the usb   
   /run/media/kotic/7f4f4bab-9e75-4117-b23d-d1f8ae6bd43ad/koticbck.fs   
   and the saved encryption key is on the usb in   
   //run/media/kotic/7f4f4bab-9e75-4117-b23d-d1f8ae6bd43ad/koticbck.key   
   and the cmtab file is on   
   /run/media/kotic/7f4f4bab-9e75-4117-b23d-d1f8ae6bd43ad/cmtab   
   with content   
      
   koticbck {   
           dev=/run/media/kotic/7f4f4bab-9e75-4117-b23d-d1f8ae6bd43ad/koticbck.fs   
           dir=/koticcrypt   
           fstype=ext4   
           mountoptions=default   
           cipher=aes   
           keyformat=builtin   
           keyfile=/run/media/kotic/7f4f4bab-9e75-4117-b23d-d1f8ae6   
   d43ad/koticbck.key   
   }   
      
   The UUID of the usb drive should be the same on any computer your mount   
   it on under Linux, you would have to make sure that /koticcrypt was   
   created on the new computer for cryptmount to mount the partition on,   
   /run/media/kotic/7f4f4bab-9e75-4117-b23d-d1f8ae6bd43ad/koticbck.fs on   
   the usb is the name of the file into which is the encrypted partition,   
      
      
   Note that the koticbck.key contents are protected by a password that you   
   entered when running cryptmount-setup. I have assumed that the   
   filesystem you created on the usb  was formatted ext4 when you ran   
   cryptmount-setup (Note that that may or may not be different from the   
   formatting of the partition on the usb holding that file)   
      
   (I am assuming that your usename is kotic)
