PC. I've set up everything; synchronized and send some funds over. My first question is about security: How do I make a backup of the wallet? I've read something about wallet.dat file or something. Do I need to make a backup of it regularly, or is it a static file and I only need to do it once?
For desktop wallet, you account should be backed up using wallet.dat file and your passphrase. You should only need to backup if you change your passphrase. But it is also recommended to refresh your backup from time to time, especially after every version update.
Thank you! My second question is somewhat related: Can I install the same wallet on a second computer (laptop) to have access to it on longer business trips? I was thinking to copy the wallet.dat over, but main computer is a windows PC and laptop is a macbook; so I guess that's not possible?
