Oh my please don't follow the guide in that thread above. The author talks about emailing private keys! That is very insecure! The info there is obsolete as well.
Topic: How do you protect your savings wallet? (Read 887 times)
I agree. I wouldn't use it. Are you talking about protecting your savings wallet on your computer.. just in case for future problems/events of some sort? how to protect from someone hacking/cracking your wallet?
Let's brainstorm a bit what's safe, error proof and still not too cumbersome to use at the same time?
I suggest using armory because it supports offline wallets. You can use an offline wallet installed on a PC that is never connected to the net to hold your "savings account":

Let's say you have one bitcoin-qt with your everyday wallet where you keep small amounts for every day transactions.
And then you want to have another, separate one with yours savings (eg big amounts) That you will use just occasionally.
How would you go about protecting it? Just encrypt it and move the file to different location and swap the files with the every day wallet (risk of error and accidental delete)? VirtualMachine with another install of bitcoin-qt? Or something else?
