How can I store the following desktop cryptocurrency wallets on a USB flash drive?
- OKCash Client - Verge Electrum Wallet - Reddcoin Core Wallet - RevolutionVR Wallet - Bitbay Marketplace Client
Do I simply disconnect the internet, plug in a flash drive, click on "backup wallet", an voila`? Is it that simple?
Would this process restore my wallets (with balances) in the event I purchased a new PC that has none of the wallet files installed on it?
FYI: All my other cryptocurrencies are on Ledger Nano S (Ledger doesn't support the above-mentioned coins).

Maybe you can save/copy wallet.dat from each wallet you mention above and if you do this you can install it on your new PC

I can transfer just a little cryptocurrency to the wallet, copy the wallet.dat file to a USB, then delete all the wallet's files on my computer. Then, I can plug in my USB again and see if my balance is still there, and if the wallet works.

Many people have lost their coins due to corrupted USB or hard disk or due to accidents like fire. Printing the private key in paper and storing in a different location could be a good backup or self crypting the private key and storing it into cloud is another great idea.

Or you can simply write down the private keys with a pen on paper, shove it in a glass bottle and bury it somewhere in the forest. Remember the coordinates and location or save it somewhere in the cloud. I think this option is the most reliable. ))

Yes, before I decide to transfer a lot of crypto into these wallets, I will have to have an extra USB drive as a back up in case one of them craps out on me. I will then store these flash drives in a fireproof safe. Where would I find the private key on a desktop wallet? If I could get that, it would almost turn my USB drive into a Ledger! I would no longer be as paranoid of losing my USB, because I could simply buy another and restore my wallet.

Just move wallet.dat, or put private keys in a doc

Just move wallet.dat, or put private keys in a doc Does every wallet have a wallet.dat file? I ask this because one time I was watching a video of how to install a wallet, and part of the instructions was to find the "electrum-xvg.exe" file, but no such thing existed on my computer, even after having downloaded all the install files.

Using software with encryption is a great idea, but for storing paper copies with private keys or passphrases, a spot to consider is a bank safe deposit box.

deskop wallet and paper wallet is the right choice if ledeger nano or trezor doesn't support our crypto assets and always back up our wallet regularly, so if something happend to our PC, we can import our wallet mate regards

You can copy your data thru usb drive and move it to another pc. But I think it is too risky. Because there is a posibility that your data will lost when there is an problem between your pc or in your usb drive. So the better things to do is to finish your investment before using another pc or pc wallet and avoid transfer of information.

beware that disconnecting the internet is not going to provide you any security if your computer is already compromised (like having a malware already on it). to have a proper cold storage you must be on a clean computer that has never been connected to the internet and will never be. to do that using a live Linux on a DVD is the easiest thing to do.
in order to do what you want, you simply install each wallet software, generate a new key pair, print it on a paper and you have yourself a paper wallet. now you only have to send coins to the address of that key pair. make sure to test the setup first with a small amount to find if you have made any mistakes.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

I don't like the idea of storing the keys in the cloud, even if they are encrypted, there is a risk of someone will hack your account, access your keys and find the way to decrypt them. About the idea of printing the key, I think it could be better to write it by hand on a paper instead of using the printer.

About the idea of printing the key, I think it could be better to write it by hand on a paper instead of using the printer. the problem with printers is when they are shared printers over a network and also when in certain cases the printer has its own memory that is storing the things it prints and keeps it there. it can simply be avoided if you empty that memory or if you do the right thing and print the encrypted key to not only protect it against cases where printer saves it but also protect it against the case when someone sees the paper you just printed.

You should back up wallet dat and also private keys if is possible and save them secure somewhere, and if you buy new pc then is possible to restore them after download wallets again.

My opinion same as you that I also won't recommend store sensitive file in the cloud, don't using the printer, exporting a private key from desktop wallet and direct write in by hand on a paper, another opinion is create a hidden partition on USB to protect your file away from virus and avoid accidentally deleted the wallet file.
