Restoring from 1password3
Hello-
I used 1password3 on Mac since 2013, and subsequently bought the upgrade license for 1password4. Unfortunately I wasn't able to install it because of my outdated OS. My Mac died a few months back and now I have a brand new one with OS Yosemite. I just downloaded 1password5 which seemed to work with my upgrade license. Now I need to restore my backup, but the files I have on my external drive are "My Backup" --> database.db / dmoptions.xml / FILES --> and under the latter I have hundreds of files that have a black screen logo that say "exec". How do I restore the backup? Many thanks!
Patrick

Hi @patrickd22,
You will want to search your external drive for either a file called
1Password.agilekeychainor a file that ends in.agilekeychain_zip. If you can find one of those then we're in business as they like to say. The1Password.agilekeychainis your vault while any file ending in.agilekeychain_ziprepresents a backup file from 1Password 3.Do you have anything like that at all? If you do we can populate a new vault on your new Mac using this and then you'll good to go :smile:

Hi- Thanks for your prompt response. Unfortunately I don't. I noticed that suggested solution for another user in another thread, but all I have are those Unix executable files. Please let me know what you think I can do. Thanks!

Hi @patrickd22,
- Did you ever set up syncing to Dropbox in 1Password 3? It's something you have to manually do yourself so you'd probably remember if you did.
- Is this external drive your only backup and what program did you use to back with? If it backed up your old machine in a proprietary format then you will need the backup program to regain access to the contents where hopefully your 1Password.agilekeychain is hopefully stored.
There are a number of backup programs out there so without knowing which it would seem like a needle in a haystack kind of situation. Hopefully you know the name :smile:
