Which backup to use: agilekeychain_zip or 1p4_zip?
I'm running 1PW6 on a Mac. In my Application Support folder, I have a 1Password\Backups folder with agilekeychain_zip files. I also have a 1Password 4\Backups folder with 1p4_zip. Both folders have files created this month.
Which one would I use to restore my vault? And should both of these files be getting created?
1Password Version: 6.5.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: OS X 10.2.1
Sync Type: Not Provided

Hi @momoza! It sounds like there are two things happening here. The easiest way to restore a backup is from 1Password for Mac itself. You can do this by clicking File > Restore, selecting a backup from the list, and restoring it. If you are restoring the backup on a new computer which hasn't been used with 1Password yet, use the latest
1p4_zipfile. You can also move your data an easier way with Dropbox, iCloud, or a USB drive. Hope that helps!0 -
Thanks. That helps. Mainly, I'm just trying to understand how the backups work in the case that I had my computer stolen or something. Knowing that the 1p4_zip file is the one to use is helpful.

Hi @momoza,
Ah, I see what you mean - sorry if we misunderstood your question!
Here's the difference between the two different folders you mentioned in your first post:
~/Library/Application Support/1Password/- This is the folder used by 1Password 3, which is a much older version now. The Backups folder there only contains backup files for 1Password 3 (which are the .agilekeychain_zip files). I'm surprised new ones are being saved there, but it's nothing to worry about. You don't need that folder if you're using 1Password 6.~/Library/Application Support/1Password 4/- This is the folder used by 1Password 4, 5, and 6, so the Backups folder in there is the one that contains backups for your latest data (i.e. the .1p4_zip files).
Hopefully that answers your questions, but if you have more, please let us know. Cheers! :)
