Ok, here it is...
I'm a comlete newbie, i probably could have found this information elsewere, i�v trid Frost, but cant see my on querstion after tree days (much less the answer), but if i do anything worng, please feel free to be angry!
This is my question:
I use windows and have the very convinent "update snapshot" what i worry about is that when i use this, i download a new seednnodes.ref. does this mean that i erase everything my node learnt lately? shuold i back
No. When the node reads the seednodes.ref, it doesn't delete anything from the routing table, unless it's full. And even then it only deletes node references that are useless (for example: nodes that are can't be contacted or nodes whose performance is abysmal). There is a small grace period for newbie nodes, but most of the time the node tries to keep the best nodes in the routing table.
up my old seedodes.ref before using "update snapshot" or what sould i do
The routing table is not stored in seednodes.ref, so backing it up is useless. Once your node is properly connected to the network, you don't need seednodes.ref anymore. Reseeding should be done only during non-backwards-compatible upgrades or if your node has trouble connecting to the network.
