Ahhh ok starting to get it I think. Thanks for the replies everyone. So...If i have chosen a wallet to be the "savings" wallet, any receiving addresses unique to that wallet could qualify as the "savings address". Is this correct?

Hello!
I have been following bitcoin for a few weeks now and consider myself pretty good with computers but I still seem to be confused about the mechanics of the wallet. If someone could help clarify I would really appreciate it!
So... I have my /roaming/bitcoin folder open and I see the wallet.dat file. Now I create a new folder on the c drive and just call it Bitcoin and move the wallet.dat to there. I close bitcoin and reopen it and there is a new wallet.dat file in the /roaming/bitcoin folder. We'll call that wallet.dat1 and the one moved to the c:\bitcoin folder wallet.dat2. So wallet.dat1 is the new wallet and wallet.dat2 is the backup? So what if I wanted to make wallet.dat2 my "savings" wallet, and transfer bitcoins from wallet.dat1 to wallet.dat2? How do I do that? Can I rename wallet.dat2 to something like Walletsavings.dat and replace it into the /roaming/bitcoin folder and have everything work the same or does it have to be renamed back to wallet.dat and overwrite the other one?? And I'm taking it that every instance of wallet.dat needs to be encrypted, including the one in /roaming/bitcoin? Am I just needlessly confusing myself? Normally I would just screw around with everything but I dont want to suddenly end up with 0 bitcoins accidently! Thanks for any guidance!
