sh crypto mypubkey only shows the public key and in fact you can get that
from the other end too. I tried to see if I could hack the private key a
while ago and could find nothing on it.
Be aware that if you are upgrading the router and can't find a way to
transfer the private key (I doubt you could - that would be sooo much of a
security breach) then you will need to zeroize the rsa encryption for that
VPN on the other end before setting it up again. Just setting up the VPN
again without zeroizing will screw you up.

Do a show crypto mypubkey rsa and cut and paste the key somewhere into
notepad. My guess is though when u upgrade from a low end to a high end
router
you will not be able to recover the key. My $0.02.
