Including my 1Password 8 data in local backups

negl

Thanks for the reply. At the moment, 1Password 8 doesn't include a local backup feature but I've shared your feedback with our Product team so that they're aware that this is something that you'd like to see.

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?

I'm not a developer myself but it sounds like you would need to create your own basic version of 1Password in order to do that, I don't believe that we publish the current database format anywhere. An easier way, if you'd like to create a lossless copy of your items is to export to 1PUX: How to export your data from the 1Password desktop app

1PUX will include everything in your account aside from passkeys (which the team is working on). Note that 1PUX exports are unencrypted so make sure to store this file in a safe place.

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?

The Command Line Interface doesn't currently include an export option, but I'll share this idea with the team as well. For now, you can export manually using the desktop app. 🙂
