Export to PDF Removed in Version 8?
Hi,
I just upgraded from version 7 to 8 and found that it appears that I've lost the ability to export all my passwords to a PDF as I could before. Has that feature been removed? If not, how do...

Hi MrC,
I've sent a feature request to 1Password support to provide a human readable listing of the information stored in a 1Password vault. I think providing password information via a paper listing to family members who might not be able to obtain it otherwise in a stressful situation is an important use case and 1Password should provide a solution. You may be right that they'll reject it, but I'll give it a try.
Regarding backups, my definition of "complete backup" is a set of data (files and folders) that can be used to restore the behavior of 1Password to it's state when the backup was made. An example of this would be if I used a disk image backup solution like Macrium Reflect or Acronis to restore my PC to an earlier state where everything including 1Password would behave at the time of the backup. If a full disk image can restore 1Password successfully (and I expect it can) then it should be possible to identify the files that record the complete state of 1Password, back them up, and then at a later time restore them to their earlier state. To do this all I need to know is which files and folders record 1Password's state. I might be able to figure this out myself, but it would be helpful if someone (including you or 1Password) could provide this information.
This would be useful any time that the 1Password app or services became broken or damaged. I realize that 1Password is dedicated to ensuring that these types of problems do not occur, but I've seen similarly dedicated organizations fail ensure that their services always work. I backup everything else on my PC that's critical to me and I would like to do the same with 1Password.
Thanks,
Mike
