Hi

I'm a newbie, will be starting mining soon.  Until then, questions popup.  Now, i have the following questions:

1.) Let's say i join a mining group, provide my wallet address, and set the cashout threshold to 1 BTC.  My rigs are working, and i reach 1 BTC, and I find that BTC in my wallet.  I decide to backup my wallet, so from the computer where the wallet is, i will take a copy of wallet.dat and put it safely on a USB and store it offline.

Now, while my rig is still running, can i update my wallet ID so all new BTCs go to it?

2.) If i take a copy of the wallet.dat and store it as explained above, and I run my wallet software again, what happens? does this make my backup obselete?

I would also appreciate if you show me a reference to good topics of backups and advanced backups.

thanks,
