Hi there,

I am a newbie to Bitcoin and am using bitcoin core CLI for a while. I know that it's very important to take backups.

What should I take backup of:

wallet.dat file

or

Private Keys

or

Both
---------------------------------------------

And in how many days I should take backup. And how I can make recovery of my balance in both cases if my node goes down.

Help really-really needed. Thanks in advance.
