How to Restore Wallet from Brainkey?

[xeroc]

When I make a brainkey, can I then get lost in the jungle for 5 years, lose everything, and when I find the way out, get in the internet and have my balances?

you can get the balance stored in the brain key's derived accounts.. so .. yes

Hello.

I am not sure >>

Can I recover my wallet with only  account name and  the brain key (without back up file ______.bin)?
If no, why should I use brain key instead of my password? How  brain key  is better/ different?
If yes, how exactly should I do that (recover funds)?

Thank you!

It does not.
My issue is not migration from 0.9 to 2.0, that went smoothly.  I am trying to restore a 2.0 wallet from a 2.0 brainkey.
I have read through all the remaining documentation at docs.bitshares.eu but have found nothing pertaining to this action. 
The logical place to find this answer would be under the OpenLedger "Help" tab /Introduction/Backups but all this documentation is still missing.
I am compiling the full node now, maybe it will work there.
 

you can't recover imported keys from the brain key .. that just doesn work technically ...
in fact .. importing your accounts is really like adding your account private keys next to the brain key .. they are independent ..
you need to store a full backup and not just the brain key

if you only used accounts that you have registered in the bts2 wallet .. then you would be good to go with only the brainkey

I have been playing with the Graphene Webwallet for a good day now but I cannot figure out to import a 2.0 wallet from Brainkey.
I made a wallet+ account, imported balances from 0.9, saved a backup file as well as the brainkey and cleared my cache.
I was able to restore from the backup file no problem but cant see how to alternately restore from the brainkey alone.
I tried making a new wallet with the (same) custom brainkey but it generated empty.
Is there something I am missing?
