Yes, the wallet is encrypted.

I have two backups one encrypted (after encryption) and one without encryption (after creation)

Sorry for the lack of information.
The client starts ok but balance it's near to 0 and it should be around 75.

The first error was a database error, then i searched information and found a solution. I removed all files in .bitcoin/ and restore wallet.dat and all was ok but i shoud have more transactions and balance. Could it be lost?

Hey,

When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean exactly? The new client doesn't work? It works but doesn't show your balance?

If you removed everything from .bitcoin/, placed the backup wallet.dat in it and started from that, it should show all addresses and history from the backup wallet, does it show any transactions? Did all the blocks download?

Did you backup the wallet.dat that was in .bitcoin/ *before* removing everything in it?

Good luck !

What errors (if any) are you seeing (and was your wallet encrypted)?

Hello

  I've lost around 75 btc. I don't know how.
  Maibe it's related to a client update.
  I have an old backup of wallet.dat. I've removed all .bitcoin/ and restored walled.dat and waited to block chain download (with the new client version) but it doesn't work. Any ideas?
