If your wallet is not hierarchical determinstic (HD), then there's a pool of 100 keys that are pre-generated and stored in the backup, so the next 100 addresses you generate after making your backup will protected as well. If it is an HD wallet, then every address (not just 100) is protected in this way. Try generating an address in your wallet and it should match the one you generated last time.

Thanks for the idea. I generated a couple of new addresses, but all of them are completely different..

I initially created wallet.dat many years ago with an old bitcoin core version.

lost receiving address after restoring wallet.dat from backup

Hi!

I use BitCoin Core 0.13.1
I created an additional receiving address to get payments from NiceHash.
I got one payment and later I had to restore my wallet.dat from backup. Backup was created before I created an additional address, so now I can't see this address in the list.

NiceHash will send me new payment shortly to the same address (I can't change this). Will I receive the payment? What will happen?

Thanks a lot!
