How to Backup 1 Password data ?

I use Carbonite as an overall backup program on my Windows 10 PC.

Does Carbonite backup 1 Password info ? If it does, is the data encripted on the "Carbonite Cloud"?

Is there a better/safer recommended way to backup my 1 Password information?
THanks

    Hello again JosieNurseTN,

    Great question! Your device store an encrypted local copy of your data in case you are unable to connect to the internet. There is no need to back this up. With a 1Password account, we handle your data backup for you and sync data from 1Password.com (or .ca/.eu) to your device when you sign in.

    What we do recommend as a back up is your Emergency Kit which holds your account credentials and a place you can write your account password. You can then store this in safe place such as a safety deposit box or safe, so you'll always have access to these account credentials in the future.

    If you're interested in some more information, I've included a link to our 1Password Blog, Where to Store Your 1Password Emergency Kit.

    Please let us know if you have any further questions. We'll be happy to help!
