Can I burn my wallet on a DVD?

Durability in what way?

In how ling you can keep them in your drawer and use them later again

CDs after 5 years are mostly rubbish (burned cds)

Have BD-Rs even been out five years yet? It's probably too early to tell how they'll actually fair with time.

Perhaps you are right - anyway I am sure better to use other data storage than any disk.

Makeuseof.com has a good article about how to safely store your Bitcoins using a combination of a hot wallet, a cold wallet, and a paper wallet to stay secure.


In answer to the original question, yes, it is possible to burn your wallet onto a dvd; but you should not rely on it as your only backup.

this wallet will still need to sync, except that since the last synchronization immediately used your money

No, the client needs syncing. The wallet contains the private keys and does not need syncing.

No, bitcoin core is the client. The private keys (the money) is stored in the wallet. The wallet you can back-up wherever you want, even on a DVD.

Yes, but also keep a backup of the wallet, because if dvd breaks down you will loose your money.

Make sure you have at least 4 copies of your wallet.
