Re: Qora | POS | Assets | Names | Polls | Automated Transactions | Social Network
Hi all,
Can one of you tell me how to backup my wallet in a secure manner ?
Is backing up the wallet folder enough or is backing up the seed enough ?
What's the best practice according to you guys.
I want to store everything offline preferrably on an encrypted memory stick.
What are your recommendations.
Thanks.

The good thing about Qora is that everything is stored on Blockchain, so nothing will ever be lost, and no backup is needed. As vbcs has already mentioned, all you need is the "seed" and the "password" that go along with it, then you will be able to recover all your wallets & accounts on any computer/device you wish.
PS: You can do an experiment yourself, on a 2nd computer, download the qora client, enter your seed, and enter the number of wallets you had created (all your wallets with funds in them), let the client sync... as soon as it finishes syncing, all your funds should be available for your use.
Just a note - the password is only used to encrypt the local wallet folder so you dont have to keep it. When restoring from seed you can choose whatever password you like.
