I downloaded Bitcoin-qt. It's working. I received bitcoin into it.  I want to know how to back it up. I have checked all the folders and files under C:Program Files (x86) > Bitcoin.   There are not .dat files in there. There are files that start with "wallet" but no wallet.dat file.  Where is it?  They are all CPP and H files.

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

Go to Start => Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this: explorer %APPDATA%\Bitcoin. Bitcoin's data folder will open
