I have seen a few stories about losing coins due to lack of having tested the backup. Make sure you go through the entire 'restore' process after making backups. This includes paper wallets, but also all forms of digital wallets.

Just realized I lost 3 Bitcoin b/c of my inexperience with paper wallets last year

Posted: 30 Jul 2018 09:49 PM PDT

Bought some Bitcoin a few years ago. Last July I decided to finally move them to a safer option than Coinbase. I created some paper wallets and sent them over. I remember being extremely nervous b/c that was the first time I sent anything out of Coinbase. Everything seemed successful and I've checked my balance using my address every few months since then. I finally decided to move them onto my Ledger and claim my forks. Apparently I clicked the BIP-38 box and created a password. I have no recollection of this and no record of any password or passphrase. The frustrating part is that I have created many wallets since for other coins and take every precaution with backups/laminating copies and putting them in a fireproof safe. All I remember is reading that as long as you had your private key you are good to go with the paper wallet. I can't find a copy of a password anywhere. I've reached out to WalletRecoveryServices.com and hope they can help, but I'm feeling pretty hopeless here. Anyone have any other ideas or success stories?
On the bright side, I have a job, a home, and an amazing wife. I'd also like to think that the fact that one can lose these coins so easily because of a simple mistake, we have a ways to go before it goes mainstream. It definitely stings quite a bit today tho. If anyone has any ideas let me know. Thanks
