Am I safe forever if I backup this file and not an actual backup? Or paper backup?
The backup is an extra file used to perform drive IO operations twice. It's main purpose is to confirm data was properly written to the wallet. The backup and its designated wallet carry the exact same information.
You can save either the wallet file or its backup, or both. Paper backups allow you to recreate deterministic wallets. It guarantees you can reproduce all the possible key pairs your wallet can yield. Keep in kind that a paper backup does not carry information about imported private keys, as those were not produced in a deterministic fashion, using the wallet's rootkey and chaincode.
You can ignore armory_walletID_backup.wallet.
It's only purpose is to provide some protection in case something happens while writing to armory_walletID.wallet.
wallet.dat in the \bitcoin directory is not used by Armory.

Hello, wondering if someone knows the answer to these two questions.
When I create a wallet in Armory, there are two related wallet files in the \Armory directory that get created as well
armory_walletID.wallet and
armory_walletID_backup.wallet
What's the different between these two files?
And the wallet.dat file in the \bitcoin director does not contain any information regarding the wallets created via Armory, correct?
