Redundant Backups

Prior to 1Password 6, you could backup your vaults to multiple services (for example iCloud and Dropbox). I would like to see this brought back. Redundant backups just makes 1Password better. If one backup corrupts, you still have the other.

Please consider bringing this feature back!

    Hi @ddn2003,

    Thanks for taking the time to write in about that! Syncing with Dropbox and iCloud at the same time hasn't actually been possible since version 4.5 of 1Password for iOS (released in April of 2014). This change was made because of problems that could happen when both of those sync options were enabled simultaneously.

    However, Dropbox and iCloud are used for syncing your data, and it sounds like you're interested in backing up your data. 'Sync' and 'backup' are treated as two different things in 1Password: A backup is a static, unchanging snapshot of your data at a given time, and exists strictly for recovery if needed. Any file that is constantly changing (like the sync data stored in Dropbox or iCloud) is not considered a backup.

    So if your goal is to create a backup of your 1Password data, I have good news: You can do that at any time, regardless of whether you're also using one of the sync options! We have steps to create a backup here: Creating and restoring 1Password backups in iTunes (iOS)

    Hopefully this helps, but please let us know if you need anything else. Cheers! :)
