Title: Cold Storage BU
Post by: ssmc2 on July 25, 2014, 08:59:17 PM
I have an offline wallet created on a netbook with a watch only wallet on my online machine. Should I make a backup of my wallet? Since I have my seed, isn't that sufficient if say, my netbook gets destroyed? Thanks!

The seed is all you need, correct.

You should backup the watch only wallet because that has labels for your transactions and addresses. Also a soft copy backup of the seeded wallet doesn't hurt.

This is what I was looking for. Thanks!
