I am trying to backup my wallet. I go to File > Backup > Accounts... and nothing happens. It doesn't open explorer or anything like that. My folder D:\Ethereum\keystore only has old .json files.

Also, every time I open the wallet... I have to readd the token contracts.

Hi @xakxrusx, are you using any custom path to store the chaindata?

xakxrusx commented 7 years ago

@evertonfraga My chaindata is stored: D:\Ethereum\geth\chaindata

Unlike the accounts that are stored locally, wallet contracts aren't stored locally as json files, as they are stored on the blockchain.

So the wallet address reference is saved on your Ethereum Wallet's localStorage.

I'm aware of the issue preventing your data to be displayed, and working on a solution. Thanks

Any news on this? Updated to 0.9.1 today, and still having this issue.
