Very stupid question but doesnt creating double wallets also mean your creating duplicates of your coins? or are the coins assigned values 1-21million like a bank note has serial numbers.
thank you

Even a 512MB usb stick would be enough. Go to the shops, buy about 3+ cheap USB sticks they are around $4 ea you can find them, and store them all on there, so if one is broken or lost you have more. Enjoy your day.
Personally I wouldn't go for really cheap USBs. You can still buy branded Sandisk ones very cheaply.
I have alot of research to do guys/girls...thank you for your very fast responses
Indeed. Do not rush into it. Think about your options well and always consider redundancy.

Hello Everyone,
I have a 500gb external hard drive, i would like to use this hard drive to store multiple wallets on for different alternative coins, is this possible? if so what all would i need to do to get this going?

Back the wallets up on multiple sources: USB sticks, CDs etc. You can also copy the private keys down as well.
thank you for your quick replies
Do it on a SSD drive.
Look into 'Truecrypt', it basically allows you to encrypt an allocated partition on the drive, so that if anyone gets hold of the drive, they can't access anything store in said partition (in this case your .dat files) without the password.
Then you just need to backup all your alternative Wallet.dat files to the harddrive. Whether you wish to use a seperate partition for each currency each with a different password is upto you (more secure ofcourse.)
Truecrypt isn't too difficult to set up, just takes 5 minutes of reading the instructions! Good luck!
