Bitcoin wallet backup

Bitcoin wallet backup “0/unconfirmed”

I get an "11dbexception" error saying "not enough space" and some transactions won't show up on the list. I've checked on Google, then erased everything but the current wallet.dat file from my Bitcoin folder. I tried the same with an old backup (few months old).

In both cases I let the BTC client run for several hours, receiving blocks but my balance stayed at 0, with 0 confirmation on every transactions on my list.

I just tried to do the same with the -rescan option but still at 0.

Keep Bitcoins safe. Don't leave them on-line.

Use an "off-line" or "paper" wallet.

Do you have an old computer? If not, you could buy one for cheap.
Keep it disconnected from the Internet.
Generate a wallet. Send your Bitcoin(s) to that wallet.
Meanwhile, you'll want to make a backup or two of that wallet. They can be printed on paper (hence the term, "paper wallet"). If you do that, keep them in zip-lock bags (protected against water) and keep them locked up, same as if they were cash.
I encrypt my wallets with a very strong password and store the encrypted backups in various places
