Including my 1Password 8 data in local backups
I'm including the following folder in my regular scheduled backup: /Users/me/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.agilebits/Library/Application Support/1Password
It's a last-ditch backup, I d...
Hi 1P_Dave,
That being said, our database schema does change from time to time and you'll need a version of 1Password that uses the same schema as the old database from your backup in order to open and unlock that old copy of the database and view your passwords.
Can I write a program that decrypts the data without your client, assuming that I still have the password and secret key when I restore a backup? Or does that require data that's not stored in that folder?
When using 1Password 8 your items are already encrypted and backed up to your 1Password account in the cloud in redundant and secure copies: 1Password backups
I don't see how you can call that a backup; from what you say, the only full copies are stored in your cloud.
Additionally, the old database may not include uncached documents/files such as a picture attached to one of your items in 1Password that you haven't yet viewed using 1Password on your Mac.
Is there a way to automatically (say, in a script) export all my vault's data in a format I can back up and read later?
I subscribed to 1Password because local backups were easy. You used to publish the spec of your local database to make it easier to read from backups. If that becomes hard, I will unsubscribe. You have to understand that asking people to rely on only one company for data this important isn't reasonable.
