How to keep a paranoia backup of a vault
I have been cleaning up my items in 1Password. I have quite a ways to go, but already have 598 items in Trash. I would like to delete them, but before doing that make a "paranoia" backup, just in case. It used to be that you could backup the vault contents, which was stored in a single zip file. Now it seems the backup function has been integrated into the main functioning of the program and there is no longer a separate, explicit backup. I am looking for a nice way for this paranoia backup.
One could highlight all the items in the trash and export them. However, the resulting file does not seem very user-friendly and could only be used easily to re-import all the trashed items, which would be a huge setback.
Any easy way to accomplish what I want?

Hi @jasimon9!

That would indeed be the best way at the moment. Do make sure you handle this backup securely however, since it won't be encrypted after leaving 1Password.
However, the resulting file does not seem very user-friendly and could only be used easily to re-import all the trashed items, which would be a huge setback.
If you need to reimport only one item from that file in the future, you certainly import only one line from it ;)

Does the import function allow the selection of one or more items? Would be disastrous if it just did them all without asking.
