Title: backup wallet Post by: pginvest on August 30, 2012, 02:28:24 PM Hello,
Due to the recent update to Mountain Lion, apple told me to formar my mac and re-install it... How can i backup my bitcoin and litecoin wallets in order to keep both data and adresses? Thanks Title: Re: backup wallet Post by: matthewh3 on August 30, 2012, 02:47:26 PM I use online wallets but I think you just need to copy and backup the wallet.dat files in both of your wallets then add them files back into your new wallets.

if so it might be enough... any more comments? :) Title: Re: backup wallet Post by: Pieter Wuille on August 30, 2012, 02:58:54 PM Use the 'backup wallet' feature in the menu. It will allow saving a copy of wallet.dat, which you can place in the datadir on your new computer.
You can also just copy the wallet.dat file, but don't do so while the program is running, or hasn't shut down cleanly. Title: Re: backup wallet Post by: pginvest on August 30, 2012, 10:36:47 PM where can i find wallet.dat (both for bitcoin and litecoin) on mountain lion?
~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ is what bitcoin wiki says but i don't have any folder named Bitcoin nor Litecoin :( |
