So trying to get my crypto life in order here... I've got 50+ alt coins, across 8 exchanges, and several desktop wallets / online wallets. This shit is almost too much; very overwhelming and I'm usually 'good at computers'.

Is there is site that explains how to safely store / backup each type of wallet?
Example:
Online Wallets
1. Download encrypted .JSON file and keep backups.
2. Print out private key and keep backups. (Do I need to do both???)
Restore instructions: Either load private key, or login using .JSON file into webwallet.

Desktop Staking Wallets
1. Encrypt wallet.
2. Backup wallet.dat file (and encrypt in a zip file). Store on multiple USBs.
3. Is there a private key with these wallets? If so, I don't see it anywhere.
Restore instructions: Can only be restored using the wallet.date file?Huh

Paper wallets... etc.
