Keepass vs bitwarden reddit4/27/2023 ![]() I used this very procedure the other day and it saved my bacon. ![]() To restore, either create a new BW install or use an existing one, replace the bwdata directory with the one from your cloud/other backup and then follow the “ migrate BW from host to host” procedure. Either way, passwords are not required and you don’t need to worry about any additional encryption procedures. One could do that using a cloud backup service to make it super easy, or write a script invoked by some kind of cron utility. One way I’ve found, which is almost certainly not optimal but works, is to simply take an automated copy of the “bwdata” directory. I have been looking for an automated way to do backups, but am also concerned with exposing the master password in some script. *Update: I’ve come across a report that similar issues may affect the downloading of unencrypted exports from the Web Vault, depending on the browser and browser settings used. ![]() The guide may need to specify that unencrypted exports should only be created using the Web Vault (assuming the reported issue is restricted to the Desktop app*). If confirmed, this would directly affect the above advice given about unencrypted exports. I have not yet verified this myself, but there is a recent Reddit post reporting that when exporting from the Desktop client directly to a BitLockered drive (consistent with the recommendations given above), the export process creates a temporary copy of the unencrypted export in the default Downloads directory. Avoid saving these files to an unencrypted drive and then copying them to a secure location, because a very determined attacker might be able to retrieve deleted files from your computer, depending on the file system it uses. ![]() VeraCrypt volumes, Mac encrypted disk image volumes, or encrypted removable drives/flash drives are all good options. Thus, if you create unencrypted export files for your backup strategy, be sure to save them directly to an encrypted volume or drive that is secure. Obviously, an unencrypted export file of all your vault contents is something you need to fiercely protect.
