I want to do this because I want to convert a 2013 wallet into the new format. And I want to do it with testnet coins first, so I don't screw up with real coin wallets.
Are you referring to to the "
migrate" command in your other post?
If so, that command will automatically create a backup of the wallet.dat for you, it'll be saved in the same directory of the upgraded wallet.dat file as ".
bak" file.
You can also create your own copies before migrating if you prefer.
And it will not touch your blockchain files and settings as well.
