I backed up my entire .bitcoin directory prior to wiping a machine and performing a fresh linux install. I reinstalled bitcoin-qt and bitcoind, copied over only wallet.dat from my backed up .bitcoin directory. After setting the rpcpassword, I loaded the blockchain with the command:
bitcoind -loadblock=/path/to/bootstrap.dat -daemon-rescan
I was able to recover my full balance after catching up with the blockchain, but all my separate account balance information was lost. All my coins are now in the default "" account.
The account balances were created through the command:
bitcoind getaccountaddress <account>
, used to generate a new address to transfer bitcoins to a local wallet. I would like to know the steps to do a restore/transfer to a new machine and keep my separate account balance information.
Thanks!
NOTE: The transactions now all show only "" for the account.
