PIVX DYK: PIVX new wallet feature: auto-backup to external device

Did you know that our new wallet has an automatic backup capability to external storage devices?

All you have to do is add a few lines to the "pivx.conf" file.

Our wallet can now have user selected directories for automatic backups of the wallet data file (wallet.dat). This can be set by adding the following lines to the pivx.conf file which can be found in the PIVX data directory.

---

backuppath = directory / full path
zpivbackuppath = directory / full path
custombackupthreshold = number

---

Note: system write permissions must be appropriate for the location the wallet is being saved to.

• Configured variables display in the Wallet Repair tab inside the Tools Window / Dropdown Menu.
• Allows for backing up wallet.dat to the user set path, simultaneous to other backups.
• Allows backing up to directories and files, with a limit (threshold) on how many files can be saved in the directory before it begins overwriting the oldest wallet file copy.
