Location of Local Encrypted Vault File on Mac for Offline Access

Thanks GreyM1P - yeah I wasn't planning to do anything crazy 😉 - and if I was would not be touching the existing one - would look to use a copy.

So was more interested in it from 2 perspectives; (a) is the file recoverable if you are offline and have some sort of catastrophic failure (like if your O/S won't boot) as per my post above, and; (b) also just understanding what's involved in getting a copy of it and accessing it outside of 1PW (i.e. what would a potential bad actor need to do if it was an individual local breach or theft of data). It's good to just understand what's involved and potentially read up a bit more on the theoretical side to get a bit of a grounding in knowing the risk and threat level for the locally stored copy of the vault.

As an aside is there any sort of inherent copy protection assigned to the 1password.sqlite file - e.g. if someone tries to copy it is the master password required? If so is this true of macOS and Windows? I'm guessing even if this is there it's O/S dependent so could be circumnavigated via bypassing the O/S (e.g. accessing the storage drive, without the device O/S running, from an external O/S like that on a USB recovery drive or a downloaded virtual machine running in memory or such like)...?
