so I do not need to save the wallet.dat, just write down the private key, and i can recover any time

It wouldn't hurt to also save the wallet.dat on a flash drive in case you lose the private key.

If I lost the wallet.dat backup file, only I have private key and public key with me on a paper, how can I recover the wallet?

You should import those private key into Qt wallet in the console tab using this command.

importprivkey (your private key) then press enter.

i mean even i saved public and private key, how do i recover the wallet? Any way to import the key, for ShareCoin

It should be the same as it is for Bitcoin: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/10974/import-wallet-dat-into-a-new-bitcoin-qt-client, except go to the ShareCoin folder.

I know I can recover from wallet.dat, but how can I recover from paper wallet, for my altcoin. or any way to save the wallet easily?

You should scan and save the qr but if you didn't do that then you're SOL.
