Should it just be to back up wallat.dat instead of the entire folder??? See below. "How do I backup my wallet? Your data is stored in the directory ''%appdata%\Bitcoin'', which is typically: Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Bitcoin Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin It’s recommended that you stop Bitcoin before backing it up to make sure the backup will be correct."
