Hi folks,  
with a previous version of Vaultwarden I could still export organization vaults. Since version 1.31.0 I no longer see the button.  
Does this no longer work, or am I blind?

Thank you

First update to Vaultwarden to the newest version, then you can follow this help page:

> **[Export Vault Data | Bitwarden Help Center](https://bitwarden.com/help/export-your-data/#export-an-organization-vault)**
>
> This article explains how to export your personal Vault data from any client application.

Also exporting it [does not seem to work for other clients since v2024.7.x](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/issues/4818)

Hi,  
Thank you for your reply.  
I also wanted to do an update and export the vaults beforehand to be on the safe side.  
Now I have simply backed up the data directory. After the update the export works again.
