Local backups in 1Password 8

I’m wondering how (if?) I will be able to make a local backup of my data if local vault support disappears in 1Password 8. Your thoughts? It’s been years since we’ve discussed here in the forum...

Thanks for writing back! .1pex, which sounds like a safe variant of .1PIF as well as somewhat reminiscent of the old "export to HTML" functionality, definitely counts as a win, caveats notwithstanding. While not ideal from a UX standpoint, I'm wondering whether there is a way to use Automator or a script or daemon of some sort to create backups on a scheduled basis. 1Password does have a CLI, yes?

P.S. The post at your link frankly rankles given the decision to partially break local vaults in 1Password 7.8 for iOS and iPadOS. But that's a discussion for another thread.
