Back up Windows vault

From my understanding, what you are looking for is a way of being able to recover deleted entries.

Such feature has been requested:

There is, however, a manual work-around of backing up your vault without compromising your saved passwords. This will require you to have premium account features.

Export your vault to a .json or .csv file and save as it into your encrypted Bitwarden vault. This way you’ll be able to ‘go back in time’ and restore any given entry back into your vault.

That’s the only ‘secure’ method I could think of in regards to keeping a backup.
(You could also keep a local backup on an encrypted USB storage device.)

As to your comments about backing up Bitwarden AppData files, I cannot give a clear comment on that but I think the online vault takes superiority over any local files and will re-sync itself.
I wouldn’t risk doing this, however, to avoid potential data corruption.
