The wallet is fairly new. Its only been on my main computer since I started it. I've encrypted it, and have a great system in place to reference my pass-phrase.

As for the idea of using different wallets per PC/Laptop, I like that idea, but I can also see it causing confusion later down the road. Maybe in 6 months or so. Get my .dat files mixed up or something. It would be easy to just uses different media sources per backup, but it still could cause simple user error in the long haul. Though, I think when dealing with something like this I would be extra careful, but I still can't always fore see simple user error in the future. For now. Keeping it as simple, and as linear as possible is a plus too me Smiley.  I will just keep my 1 wallet, and lock that baby down Smiley Keep a daily backup, and a weekly one that never leaves my house.

I was thinking about a feature to import a wallet.dat that would merge keys from the imported wallet into the existing wallet.  That way, you could just copy your wallet, use it as usual on your laptop for a week or whatever, and when you get back, just merge it back in, sucking in any new keys that were created along the way.
