Do users of Daedalus windows wallet need to save a backup of the wallet? like in other wallets users can make a backup and have the wallet.dat file under the roaming folder, but in this daedalus wallet at roaming under wallets folder, I only saw 3 different files and not sure which one is the backup wallet.
Iād just backup the whole folder C:\Users>user>\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus Mainnet to be sure I have everything required.
Saving the whole folder is about 10 GB, That is too big, I am sure there is a better way to backup the Daedalus wallet.
Your mnemonics (12/15/24 words) your most reliable backup. If you have your mnemonics you can restore access to wallet (be it via Daedalus or Yoroi).
As regards folders, you can skip chain folder from your backup - but note that this backup will still need your spending password and is reliant on Daedalus supporting it (i.e. not changing folder format) in future.
