Hi there. I installed bitcoin core version v.24.99.0 from source code, then create test wallet: bitcoin-cli createwallet "TestWallet" It worked, wallet created. But, when i trying using command dumpwallet, sethdseed …etc it’s not work. I see error: error code: -4 error message: Only legacy wallets are supported by this command Why i see this error, and how to fix it?

Descriptor wallets (the new wallet format enabled by default) do not support those commands. A freshly created descriptor wallet is HD by default, so there is no need to call sethdseed

dumpwallet

Ok. And if dumpwallet doesn’t work either? How do I save my wallet? Can I just copy it from the wallets folder?
