Title: Backing Up Armoury Wallet Post by: DobZombie on March 06, 2014, 04:15:48 PM http://static2.fjcdn.com/thumbnails/comments/Marry+_3d797dcc81ab2e4b88aa39debed6a887.jpg
I want to know how to backup my Armoury Wallet(s)? Also, When will Armoury have a feature to backup (Or even auto-backup) users wallets? Ta! ;D Title: Re: Backing Up Armoury Wallet Post by: CircusPeanut on March 06, 2014, 04:43:01 PM Armory wallets are deterministic, (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Deterministic_wallet) so there is no need to auto backup a wallet. You only need to back it up once.
Personally, when I create a new wallet for cold storage, I destroy it and restore a few times before I'm comfortable putting any bitcoins in it. I also create a fragmented backup and distribute some of the fragments to safe locations/people before any bitcoins go in to it. Title: Re: Backing Up Armoury Wallet Post by: DobZombie on March 07, 2014, 09:16:52 AM The question still remains. How do I back it up?
Also (again) I'd love a backup option in the armoury menu. For those times I create a new wallet. I also import quite a few private keys (Vanity addresses & such) which aren't part of the deterministic algorithm of the wallet seed. Can we have that option put into the next release? Pretty please ;D Title: Re: Backing Up Armoury Wallet Post by: picobit on March 07, 2014, 07:36:00 PM The question still remains. How do I back it up?

Pretty please ;D There *is* a backup option in Armory, just click on a wallet and then click on Wallet Properties. On that screen, there is also an option to import private keys. However, be aware that not all of the backup options also include the private keys, in particular the N-of-M paper backup does not. |
