Is my 1Password data being backed up?
I am trying to understand if and how 1Password backups up my 1P data.
On the 1Password Support Site I read "Your 1Password account is backed up automatically ... every day." Is this still the case for 1Password 7.4.3? The support site says that "Backup" should be selectable in 1Password from File > Backup. It also says that from 1P Preferences I should be able to select "Backups" in order see where the backup files are kept, however, I find no tab for "Backups."
In a 1P Support Forum thread it says that 1P backups are stored in this location: /home/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits/Library/Application Support/1Password/Backups. When I look in that location I find 39 backup files dated between 10/13/18 and 1/18/19. What does it mean that there are no more recent backup files stored in that folder?
Perhaps the answer to my questions related to the fact that I use a Family Account??
Please help me to understand how 1Password backs up data.
Thank you!

Hi @gkgriffith!

That's correct :)

Yes, every 1Password account is backed up automatically.

That's only for local vault backups. If you are using a 1Password account, which has automatic backups, that option is not present in the Preferences because 1Password is doing all the work for you, so you don't have to do anything manually :)

Thanks! That’s very helpful...
How often are backups saved and far back in time to I have backups available?
And if I do need to restore from a backup, how do I do that?0 -

Every time you make a change to an item, that change is saved to the item's history, and you can go back in time for 365 days. Should you require a more general restore, please feel free to reach out to us and we will help you with it.
