I’m using Bitwarden personally outisde of work but now I’m looking to move my work to Bitwarden too. We are about 20 employees and I have a couple of concerns regarding backup.
For you who use Bitwardens cloud solution, how do you mange backups?
Do you just export an unencrypted .json/.csv-file and encrypt it yourselves or is there a backup solution for this?
It would be nice it Bitwarden offered a way for the Enterprise plan to export an encrypted backup of the entire collection but it doesn’t seem like this is available?
What do you mean?
If I use Bitwardes own cloud solution I don’t have access to the actual file system to do an actual backup. The only way to export the data is to an unencrypted text-file.
However if I use a self-hosted Bitwarden it makes nightly backups of the MSSQL database which I then can backup myself and I have everything hosted in a machine which I can make a proper backup of.
Yes of course I can encrypt it myself and I wouldn’t have a problem with automating this. But if I login as the administrator and make an export, I can only export my “personal” vault and the organizations vault.
I can’t backup each employees vault. The only way to do this would be to login as each user and do an export which is not an option. Or is there a way for an admin to export a users vault?
If I would self-host it I would have a backup of the entire installation even if I wouldn’t be able to easily restore on per user basis I still have the data backed up and can extract it manually if needed.
I might have been a little unclear of what I meant by a backup in my first post.
