It depends what you mean by "newly created". If you mean you've never used it before, but it was already in the wallet, then you're fine. If the wallet ran out of extra addresses and had to create a truly new one, then no. That's why you should make sure you have 100 or so extra addresses in your wallet when you back it up.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-01-20)

Suppose I have a recent backup of my `wallet.dat` file.

Now I make (say) two transactions: one receipt and one send.

Before I run my next backup, the hard drive crashes and I lose `wallet.dat`.

I can restore `wallet.dat`, of course, but only prior to the new two transactions.

What will happen to those two transactions?

**Tags:** backup, wallet.dat, loss
