Is it only possible to restore your backup wallet from blockchain.info with Multibit?  Is it not possible to restore with Bitcoin-Qt?

Soooo...if it's only Multibit then would I have issues running two clients on the same machine?  Multibit AND Bitcoin-Qt???

You can export your Blockchain.info wallet unencrypted, and then import the keys into Bitcoin-Qt.

Import/Export -> Advanced  -> "Export Unencrypted"

No they can be ran on the same machine.

I'm just thinking of the scenario where blockchain.info is somehow taken offline along with MultiBit and how my wallet would be restored.  It's unlikely but possible I guess.  I'm sure MultiBit would still be freely available thru torrents and what not.  Just thinking about blockchain.info vs. the OG client.  Thanks for your responses.   Wink

Have backups of your private keys and you have all you need.
