Okay but could you confirm if I need to backup anything other than the .wallet file?

You mention a bat file too, what exactly do I need to backup?

Thanks

i backup my wallet and email the .bat file to myself. To me its safer because I know the file will always be there no matter what. I rather not risk all my coins in the hands of one usb stick just in case something happens to the stick. Cloud storage is you best bet.

I am just trying to get my head around how I back things up, I am using Multibit and its make a .wallet file.

Am I right in thinking that is the only thing i need to backup in order to be safe, as long as I have that on a USB stick I can recover everything right?

I read when a new address or number is added to the wallet I need to make a new backup but thats it, I wont need to back it up when each transaction takes place as that goes on off on the main network I just need my wallet which will contain all of my keys....

Just for piece of mind, could someone verify I have the right understnading of this??
