IIRC change addresses are. But the unused keypool is not— your very next transaction will invalidate your backup. There is a backup rpc (and menu option) for a reason. Mucking about with keys manually is inadvisable.

Hi guys,

Just wondering if its possible to back-up a bitcoind wallet by capturing all addresses (using listaddressgroupings, and then calling dumpprivkey for each address) and storing them for later retrieval?

Specifically, I wondering whether change addresses are included in the output of listaddressgroupings?

Cheers, Paul.
