newbie with armory

[accord01]

So I just downloaded armory_0.88.1-beta_win64.msi

I'm wondering if there are any cautions I should take before using it.

Here are a few things I don't understand, and bare with me please.

1) How do I make sure if my computer crashes, I still have my bitcoins.

2) How do I transfer my wallet to other wallet clients like Bitcoin QT or multibit?

3) For the paper backup to work, do u also need the passphrase for wallet?

4) more questions to come

Have a printed paper wallet stored in a safe place.

2) How do I transfer my wallet to other wallet clients like Bitcoin QT or multibit?

I just send the coins to the other wallets. 

3) For the paper backup to work, do u also need the passphrase for wallet?


You can't make a paper back up without the pass phrase.
