Title: Armory .wallet transfers possible?
Post by: The Ferox on July 28, 2014, 12:28:48 PM
Quick question, is it possible to transfer the armory_randomkey_.wallet files to different machine then restart armory on the other computer to have the wallet on the new machine? Or what would be the best way to back up and duplicate wallets that contain a bunch of imported keys from vanity addresses to another machine without having to save all the WIF keys and paste them over to the new machine then have armory spend a bunch of time importing them all.

Thanks

Yes. You can just copy the files over, and even have multiple instances of Armory running at the same time with the same wallets. (Such behavior, of course, isn't recommended.) Just place the wallets wherever each version of Armory looks for wallets, and you're good to go.
