The question where to save a backup (+explanation why) is something that should IMO be implemented in the client. Title: Re: How can I open wallet file from a different computer.

Then go to tools > export . And choose your wallet.dat file. It will ask you to enter your password used to encrypt it. Best regards. Title: Re: How can I open wallet file from a different computer.

That is the best because then you cannot loose them (except the provider makes a mistake but I think such a service is secure) Regards, Tim Title: Re: How can I open wallet file from a different computer.
