Hi Folks
it should be easy to backup a wallet right?
Except I cannot find anything that suggests backup.
Im assuming Save copy is the wallet data?
For electrum? Just make sure you have your seed somewhere (e.g. on paper)
correct, electrum is deterministic wallet. safely store your 12 word seed and don't share it!
Yes, you are right and also with wallet files, you can also save imported address(es). In the near future, maybe someone will find a new feature where the seed will change when an address is imported and thus protecting it. I hope, we can see that soon!

I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Electrum supports importing addresses but this is not really meant to be used this way most of the time. The nature of the deterministic seed and the way it calculates various addresses using elliptic curve points doesn't mesh at all with the idea of importing any address you want. So, in it's current structure, you will never be able to use the seed to restore imported addresses. It would have to be radically redone in a way that I can't even imagine.
