Full Mist Backup #20
Comments
On my Windows 7, there is no Ok button, to make the save. |
This relates to #555. We need to do this work sooner rather than later. |
Users should be also be able to restore from a backup from within the UI. For that to work properly we need to be able to effectively shutdown and then restart the geth node (we restore the folder during shutdown). That architecture needs to be solid (which means we can't have issues like in ethereum/meteor-dapp-wallet#152 (comment)) |
When doing a restore, if the user is running geth separately we won't be able to restart it from within Mist. Ideally we would be able to restart geth via an RPC/IPC command or have it reload its keystore, etc. The mgmt interface doesn't currently have anything like that. More thoughts...
The above issues are relevant for when we want to restore. If we're just talking about doing backups then we can certainly have Mist do all the backup logic. |
But we can restart from within mist, if Mist started the node. I believe anyone who is tech savvy enough to run their own node is savvy enough to restart it when prompted.
