Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation for Sapling
All Sapling addresses will use hierarchical deterministic key generation according to ZIP 32 (keypath m/32'/133'/k' on mainnet). Transparent and Sprout addresses will still use traditional key generation.
Backups of HD wallets, regardless of when they have been created, can therefore be used to re-generate all possible Sapling private keys, even the ones which haven't already been generated during the time of the backup. Regular backups are still necessary, however, in order to ensure that transparent and Sprout addresses are not lost.
