Hi,
In the FAQ of bitcoin.org http://bitcoin.org the backing up of the wallet had old instructions, right? Should it just be to back up wallat.dat instead of the entire folder??? See below.
“How do I backup my wallet?
Your data is stored in the directory ”%appdata%\Bitcoin”, which is typically:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Bitcoin Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin
It’s recommended that you stop Bitcoin before backing it up to make sure the backup will be correct.”
