Thank you! Previously, I had any troubles with the backup method with wallet.dat, so I no longer use this reservation method. it that history: > [@Recovering Funds From Wallet.dat](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/recovering-funds-from-wallet-dat/37553/15): > > Heres a google translated version of that thread Foreword. I am not a programmer, not a system administrator, my knowledge of databases is minimal, but I was able to restore my broken wallet.dat. And therefore I will describe the procedure here in simple words that an ordinary user can understand. I was looking for a solution for about 3 days, re-read many articles on the forums, numerous threads on github about how zcashd works. Learned what Berkeley DB is and more.
