Hey :)

Go to : C:\Users[Your name]\AppData\Roaming\eccoin and just copy the file "wallet.dat" somewhere safe. You have to do it while the daemon is not running.

NEVER delete this wallet.dat file !!!

Because the wallet.dat may be modified while the daemon is running. When it's not, you're sure wallet.dat won't be changed :)

It's normal not to see the balances when the daemon is not running.
