#ETHEREUM WALLET BACKUP OFFLINE#
It is recommended that you store backups of both forms of your key (the Keystore / UTC file version and paper wallet version) in physically separate, offline environments. That means it's time to start from the beginning in order to make sure you never lose access to your funds.ĭoing all of this is tedious, but it ensures you (1) have complete access to your funds (2) the address you sent to is correct and matches the private key you have saved and (3) you can rest easily for years to come, knowing you will be able to access your ETH later. If they don't, you mis-wrote something somewhere.
