Your Lightning node or wallet will have keys. Look at Backup for instructions.
Bitcoin key (on-chain)

Channel information
LND
Tip for now, just backup the whole ~/.lnd directory. Template:TODO
There is work underway to make backup better in 6.0: https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/1364

To support revocation, each output of the commitment transaction refers to the commitment revocation public key.
