Title: How to back up a btc wallet
Post by: blgussiaas@gmail.com on February 26, 2014, 05:47:24 PM
Can someone tell me what files to backup from the btc client to make sure I will not lose any coins in the event my machine crashes?

If you're using QT client: File>Backup Wallet
Use an external drive to store wallet.dat and you're done.
