ModeratorThanks for the reply. The 1Password desktop app maintains a local cache but that local cache may not have a complete set of your data. With modern versions of 1Password, the database schema can change over time so you may need the exact same version of the 1Password app that created the local cache in your Time Machine backup to open a version of the local cache from something like a Time Machine backup.
If that's not the case, is there a recommended way to regularly take full, encrypted backups?
As part of your paid 1Password membership, your items and files are encrypted and backed up to 1Password.com and then replicated to redundant copies on our end. If you need to restore an older version of an item you can do so: View and restore previous versions of items
While you can export a copy of your data at anytime using the 1PUX export tool, this export isn't encrypted and I wouldn't recommend using it as a backup since it doesn't contain features that a backup would have such as versioning.
