If you are running Linux and I assume you do, go to your home folder and find a directory called ".bitcoin", you will see your wallet.dat file there.

You can copy the whole wallet file, which is recommended or run
Code:
bitcoin-cli dumpwallet "filename"
and save your wallet that way.

I am running a bitcoind on my server. In the case of the server becomes inaccessible/crash/stolen/etc. How will I get access to the wallets generated by the bitcoind server?

As I understand using bitcoind, I have no need to provide private keys to send BTC, so I was never exposed to the private keys of my bitcoind generated wallets. Or is there to place to retrieve them?

Thanks for your tips!
