Key backup

Hello, if I understand this system correct I have somewhere on my hdd a copy of all data which are also on your server. So I can open the Mac app also when I have no internet connection at the moment. Correct?
So my question is if this is also an opvault format maybe? So I like to do a backup of this key. So in case of emergency I could install 1Password on another computer and start it with a local backup also?

    Hi @Philipp! Good question. 1Password accounts do include offline access. There's a cached copy of data stored on your computer in case you lose internet access or you'd just like to use 1Password offline. It's not an OPVault format, though. It's the 1Password account vault format. You could back it up somewhere, it's just not possible to restore it reliably because that's not what it's meant for. It's a local cache of your data, not a local vault. I would recommend simply signing in to your account on that other computer since that will automatically sync your data. What kind of emergency are you preparing for? I'd be happy to help outline the specifics. :)

    Hi @Jacob Thanks for your reply. I like to understand how this is working. Maybe when internet or your service or what ever is precipitates. If I understand it correct I can open my local copy and - if necessary - it is possible to create a local opvault again and copy it to this. Correct?

    @Philipp: Great question! You can enable local vaults in Preferences > Advanced. You'll then have a Primary vault which you can copy data to. And if you want to save an OPVault, just enable Folder Sync in Preferences > Sync. Cheers! :)
