Title: Wallet autobackup app? Post by: escrow.ms on April 03, 2014, 10:10:30 PM Everyday I see people loosing their coins (Bitcoins and altcoins) because they forgot to make backup, sometimes people loose different kind of coins.
So I am wondering, why doesn't someone makes a simple app for autobackup (1 click backup). I don't think it's hard to code. App just need to autodetect clients or there should a option to chose file manually and it should create encrypted backups (encrypted zip) of all coins on secure cloud storage or pendrive or a different partition of HDD.

Even I can write a batch file that does exactly that. It compresses and encrypt the wallet, then ftp to a private server on web. Title: Re: Wallet autobackup app?

"Download this .EXE and run it to back up all of your wallet.dat files." I suspect anyone that would do that has already lost their coins. Safer is to use a batch file. Add coins by copying the section and giving the coin a name. Change the BACKUPDRIVE to a drive letter for a CD or thumbdrive.

If it's open source, I don't think there should be a problem, as people download miner .exe's and different altcoin .exe's too. |
