1Password 7 Mac Backup Folder

andersonandernet

Hi, how can I change default backup folder at 1Password 7 Mac?

I want to change from "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits/Library/Application Support/1Password/Backups" to another personal folder.

Hi @andersonandernet!

I am not aware of a way to change the backup location directly within the 1Password settings. However, nothing stops you from moving the backups to a different destination manually if you prefer (either with your own script, or with an app built for this purpose).

Hi, I found a workaround, create a Bash Script:

#

DATEMASK=+%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S
DATETIME=$(date "$DATEMASK")

echo 1Password backup $DATETIME
echo
rsync \
--archive \
--verbose \
--human-readable \
--progress \
--delete-after \
"/Users/XXXX/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits/Library/Application Support/1Password/Backups/" \
"/Users/aXXX/Backup/1Password/Backup.$DATETIME"

#

Save it (example: "/Users/aXXX/Backup/1Password_backup.sh")

Give execute permission

chmod +x "/Users/aXXX/Backup/1Password_backup.sh"

And then schedule it to run when desired (details at https://ole.michelsen.dk/blog/schedule-jobs-with-crontab-on-mac-osx )

Use it to schedule: "/Users/aXXX/Backup/1Password_backup.sh"
