When I use ppcoind backupwallet, where is the .dat file saved? What is the proper way to specify exactly where the .dat file is?

I know I have backed up numerous times, but I have no idea where they are stored. I have manually backed up the .dat file in APPDATA just in case.

backupwallet command must be supplied with destination file.

sunny> ppcoind help backupwallet
backupwallet <destination>
Safely copies wallet.dat to destination, which can be a directory or a path with filename.


Directly copying wallet.dat is not a 100% safe backup. The copied file may not be flushed, thus restoring could fail with database error in db.log.

The .dat file does not seem to be showing up when I do something as simple as:

ppcoind backupwallet C:\walletbackup.dat

Ideas?

On windows it seems to require adding quotes around the file name:
ppcoind backupwallet "C:\walletbackup.dat"
