# Backup Pandacoin Wallet

## How do I backup my Pandacoin wallet?

In the Pandacoin Client, head over to **File** and Click on **Backup Wallet.**

![Wallet.dat is the important file.](https://3195711364-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Ma1DXKIiUS1a49GvEno%2F-Mb1VV4vL-kujzdNI_DK%2F-Mb1VjXnOOkJM3iLrhQa%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=89119030-3f73-4c86-8aca-11cdd01ce256)

Alternatively, locate your default Pandacoin directory:\
\
Windows: `%appdata%\Pandacoin\`

Linux: `~/.pandacoin/`

OSX: `~/Library/Application Support/Pandacoin/`

Locate the file named `wallet.dat` and copy it to a safe location.
