How do I back up my wallet? wallet

LBRY provides two different wallets, lbryum and lbrycrd. lbryum is the default wallet, but early versions came with lbrycrd as the default.

Windows

Make a copy of the C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\LBRYum\wallets directory. If you originally installed v0.14 or later, you will find the wallet in C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Local\lbry\LBRYum\wallets. The AppData folder may be hidden, so you can also try %appdata%\LBRYum\wallets or %localappdata%\lbry\LBRYum\wallets for new installations (v0.14+).

MacOS and Linux

Make a copy of the $HOME/.lbryum/wallets directory. Hint: Type ~/.lbryum/wallets into Finder and click Go.

lbrycrd wallet

You may have a lbrycrd wallet if you used an early version of LBRY or if you ran lbrycrdd manually. Look for the C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\lbrycrd directory on Windows, the $HOME/Library/Application Support/lbrycrd directory on MacOS, or the $HOME/.lbrycrd directory on Linux. If you have this directory, back up the wallet.dat file therein.
