Ok thanks!
Don't worry I won't overwrite it!

Should be release soon.
Topic: Question about block chains and wallet.dat (Read 815 times)
You don't even need to rescan if you're using a client after 0.3.21.
Is it safe to restore a wallet.dat into a fully loaded block chains by using -rescan option
Lets say I have two wallet, one for my savings and the other for day to day transactions.
I only used my savings wallet once for the creation, then I made a backup of it.
Now couple weeks or months later I want to restore it and buy some stuff.
Can I just place it in %appdata% where the block chains is already downloaded?
Yes. Just make sure not to overwrite the other wallet and lose it! Lets say I have two wallet, one for my savings and the other for day to day transactions.

The block chain is seprate for wallet.dat, but yes, the two wallet.dats should be interchangeable.
