THANK YOU in advance for helping.

Within Blockchain wallet I had a couple addresses archived. I then unarchived one and the website promptly emailed me a backup to my wallet should I need it someday.

My question is this: the backup that I had of my wallet from a few days earlier (which had that one address archived)....is it still any good? Can I still use that backup from a few days earlier to access my addresses (active and archived ones)

I just want to make sure I'm good in the event I put a USB stick of my backup in my safety deposit box. It seems like it would become annoying to replace the file on that USB stick everytime I "archived" and "unarchived" an address

I guess I'm just confused when I need to replace the backup file on my usb stick.

Why not keep both backups on your USB stick, that way you'll ensure that you have all of the addresses from each time the wallet was backed up, and not risk old addresses not being in the new backup?

I guess my question is I could see myself, quite often, archiving and un-archiving addresses that ALREADY exist in my wallet...so would that backup file from a few days earlier (before I unarchived it) still work? It could be a pain to go back to the safety deposit box every single time. :)

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the definition of "archive". Typically I don't think I would archive an address if I thought I would ever need to use it again.

What you said makes sense.

I was merely confused by Blockchain sending me another backup just when I "unarchived" something
