Do I need to back up 1Password data before doing a clean install of Windows [Yes, yes, and yes]

Hi,
I'm re-installing a fresh OS (Windows 7). Do i need to backup any components/folders etc from 1Password before I wipe the HD?
my 1password is linked with dropbox so everything should be there I presume but just wanted to make sure.

@raahh - If your 1Password data is synced to Dropbox, then your data will re-sync back from there, however to be extra safe I would create a fresh backup and then make a copy of the backup folder on your Windows PC. To find the backup folder -

• Run 1Password.
• Click on Backup > Backup 1Password Vault - this will create a backup and you will be prompted to open your backup folder.
• From here , drag either all or a subset of these backups to an external source.

You will need to do this for each 1Password vault.
