I rely on Bitwarden (slooowly migrating from... a spreadsheet...) and am thinking of keeping a master backup to be SyncThing-synchronized across all my devices, but I'm not sure of how to secure the SyncThing-synchronized files' local access if any one of my Windows or Android units got stolen and somehow cracked into or something. I'm curious about how others handle theirs. Thanks in advance for sharing!

I prefer another tactic if I may share:

  • Database in production: let Bitwarden clients sync the native way Bitwarden offers.
  • Database in backup: let a dedicated backup service keep your database save.

I dont know if this could be done automatic (just backup the production database) or if this has to be done by export (by hand once in a while).

Doesnt matter from which device the backup originates because the native sync will keep them all the same usually in seconds.
