Topic: Backups people - page 2. (Read 1918 times)
My guess is that it ran out of hdd space, but the file is only 30kb. my backup is 120kb, but i suspect its out of date, i was only doing weekly backups. it doesnt load anything on my 3 machines when i try to use it.
Why make backups if your backups didn't save you
I just felt I should post this so others can heed my warning, BACKUP your wallet.dat, frequently.
I just lost over 300$ worth of bitcoins because my computer froze and the wallet.dat is now 90% missing. My backups wouldnt load either. I've tried the private key recovery tools and they dont find anything. Basically just please look after your wallet.dat.
Please, heed the warning, This really screwed me big time, this week my wife lost her job, I was planning to cash these out to pay some bills.
TL;DR; backup your fucking wallet.dat
