For restore, you need to manually rename the backup file to wallet.dat and replace old wallet.dat Title: Re: wallet backup Post by: justroll on December 19, 2013, 02:16:31 PM you need to EXPORT your key .

bitcoind importprivkey "yourprivatekeypair" or via the debug console just importprivkey "yourprivatekeypair" try it first with a bogus wallet ;) Title: Re: wallet backup Post by: CptSlow on December 19, 2013, 02:52:48 PM why wouldnt backing up your wallet.dat be a good idea or even bad?
