Today, when a user uses bitcoin-qt client, it can make a backup of wallet.dat easily through menu, but when he/she needs to restore this backup, he/she must copy the file to the correct folder and execute "bitcoin-qt -rescan". My suggestion: bitcoin-qt developers could implement an easier way to restore. For example: a option in the File menu "Restore Wallet" or "Recover Wallet" where it would show a dialog asking for the backup file and everything would be done automatically (no need to do it manually). If we want everybody to use bitcoin, these operations should be as easy as possible.
