Could I open a backup made with 1password 7 with 1password 6 ?

Hi,
I assume the answer is no, but I wanted to be sure. I didn't try myself, because I didn't want to maybe break my perfectly working 1p6 installation... I ask because I have an old Mac Pro stuck with El Capitan, almost retired but working smoothly alongside my new iMac (I was tired of waiting for the new, long time dreamed mac pro). So if one day I needed to use it again temporarily, would this work ?
Thanks,

    @tetardbleu,

    You're correct in your assumed answer. There were database schema changes between 6.8.9 and 7.0 release versions that make it so that you can't simply restore from a 7 backup in version 6.

    In that scenario you would want to probably make use of Folder or Dropbox sync to bridge that divide. Both sync methods should create an OPVault bundle which will work on both 6 and 7.
