You have an old version of the shadowcash client so you need to upgrade to fix your problem
You can get the latest version from the official shadowcash website
https://shadowproject.io/ under /getting started/
(Do not trust quoted download links on this forum)
If you want to sync up quickly use the bootstrap here: https://github.com/shadowproject/bootstrap
Edit: And yes, make multiple copies of your wallet.dat and store them offline safely.
