You can always just download most of the blockchain the 'regular' HTTP way from sourceforge.

Topic: Can you back up the block chain? (Read 5701 times)
NVM, switched out mobo without issue this time lol
I suspect all drivers were there so it wasnt a shock to windows. WIN!

Yes, comrpessing it will decrease it by 50%+ as well. When you restore it, it wont be up to date so you will have to download additional blocks.
Are the files to backup named 'blck0001.dat' and 'blkindex.dat'? Why would I want to compress them? Thanks for your help.

It is the most tedious of things to watch. Hours and hours of watching the block chain add up. Can you back this up? Cause every time I switch my motherboard BitCoin client won't open and the "fix" was to delete everything in the users/appdata/roaming/bitcoin folder except for wallet.dat - is there a better way to ensure this won't continue to happen on the next motherboard switch?
