Which wallet are you using? Title: Re: Back up Bitcoin from begin on my Computer Post by: blacksails on November 24, 2013, 12:30:54 AM Export your wallet (Bitcoin-QT) to the flashdrive
Export your private keys (multibit) flashdrive Remember to encrypt them! :) Title: Re: Back up Bitcoin from begin on my Computer Post by: Possum on November 25, 2013, 04:49:41 AM eid: Im using the QT wallet 4.7.4

Whatever this means to you is up to you - I'm mainly pointing out that you could do a backup and still have your bitcoins be stolen if they're still "on" your computer.
