I have been searching the fourm for the answer to this question. Sorry if the answer is here and I haven't found it.
Here is the situation, I currently have an online bitcoin-qt wallet that I scan and update data every few days. I also have a wallet.dat backed up on a usb that is encrypted and has a passphrase.
I currently have bitcoins sent to the encrypted wallet on the usb from the mining pool.
Does this keep the coins safe?
To use coins I would swap the the dat files to access usb encrypted wallet. That is stored offine.
Does this work or will it work? Pretty new to this.
Or should one have coins sent to encryped online wallet then transfer to another encrypted wallet backup stored on a usb?
Thank you in advance,

Pretty sure you're fine with this. The coins will be safe and are stored on the blockchain for you to redeem them when you load up your wallet.
