Traveling abroad (Europe) with iPhone. Will also have iPad and MacBook Pro, all running 1Password.
Sync with Dropbox, as advised by Agile Bits.
I have all my credit card and passport info in 1Password, so want to make sure it's well backed-up in case my phone gets stolen etc. Do I need to do a separate back-up to iTunes, iCloud etc, or is the Dropbox sync sufficient?
If I do need to do another backup (I saw a msg on the msg center on my phone telling me I needed to do an iTunes backup), how do I do that without messing up Dropbox?
1Password Version: 5.4.1
Extension Version: 4.4.4
OS Version: Not Provided
Sync Type: Dropbox

@Myname on the basis you can never have too many backups I'd recommend that you make a specific 1P for iOS backup using iTunes before you leave. Although Dropbox is a sync service for 1Password (as opposed to a backup service) it should help in respect of saving additional items you create while travelling.
If your phone is stolen while travelling, for example, you should be able to use your Dropbox data when you install 1Password on a new phone. However, note that it's critical you're able to remember your Dropbox password and 1Password master password in order to do that (which is probably a case for using the secure pass phrases supported by 1P6 for iOS and 1P6 for Mac...because they're easier to remember).
