SAVE YOUR PRIVATE KEY AFTER ENTERING THE COMMAND
The priv_validator_key.json is the key with which you can always restore the operation of your validator, so keep it and in case of reinstallation/transfer of the validator to another server - transfer it too.
Also remember, if you are a validator with a sufficient number of delegated tokens and you are in an active set, signing blocks, always save priv_validator_state.json - this file contains information about the signed blocks of your validators, and in case of restoring the validator after reinstallation or on another server , this file won't give you the old blocks again, otherwise you'll end up in jail with no way out
