<p>I wrote a simple Python script that I believe does what you're looking for. I created it for Bitcoin Core, but since Dogecoin's CLI (dogecli) is based on the same technology, I think the commands should be quite similar. I'll leave the link here in case you're still interested.

Sounds like you should be using separate wallet files.

I want to know is it possible to back-up manually from wallet.dat. I am running Dogecoin daemon locally.

Scenario:

* say user (user1) have some dogecoin balance in addr1
* another user (user2) have dogecoin balance in addr2
* I want to back-up only user2 not user1

Is there any way to limit the back-up data in wallet.dat file?
