What if my bitcoind server crash?

[LangleyJim]

I am running a bitcoind on my server. In the case of the server becomes inaccessible/crash/stolen/etc. How will I get access to the wallets generated by the bitcoind server?

As I understand using bitcoind, I have no need to provide private keys to send BTC, so I was never exposed to the private keys of my bitcoind generated wallets. Or is there to place to retrieve them?

Thanks for your tips!

If you are running Linux and I assume you do, go to your home folder and find a directory called ".bitcoin", you will see your wallet.dat file there.

You can copy the whole wallet file, which is recommended or run

Code:

bitcoin-cli dumpwallet "filename"

and save your wallet that way.
