It's fine. It's just a decision you have to make for security. Sharing
private keys between servers means that a breach at one is a risk to all
clients backed up by either. If you are reasonably confident that your
risk is low, don't worry about it. Otherwise, delete (srm) the keys on
the old server, generate new ones, and use those keys for the less
critical backup clients.
