Possible to back-up wallet by storing all addresses?

[monsterer]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if its possible to back-up a bitcoind wallet by capturing all addresses (using listaddressgroupings, and then calling dumpprivkey for each address) and storing them for later retrieval?

Specifically, I wondering whether change addresses are included in the output of listaddressgroupings?

Cheers, Paul.

IIRC change addresses are. But the unused keypool is not— your very next transaction will invalidate your backup. There is a backup rpc (and menu option) for a reason. Mucking about with keys manually is inadvisable.
