I was planning to back up my Bitcoin wallet (private key) along with the rest of my system backups which are versioned by rdiff-backup. However, it occurred to me that if the password with which my wallet is encrypted is deemed non-secure at some point and I change that password, the rdiff-backup repository will still contain the private key encrypted with the non-secure password.
Yes, backing up sensitive data is hard =) Just a few thoughts: - The bitcoin wallet doesn't change, so there's no need to back it up every day. The easiest is probably to exclude it from your normal backup, as Dominic suggested, and just copy it separately. - If you think your wallet might be compromised in any way, it's probably best to make a new wallet and transfer all your bitcoins. (If you "lost" your password, how do you know they didn't get your key as well?)
