No? Everyone who uses the bitwarden app or browser extention has a local copy of the database that is used for read operations. You can’t disable this so everyone who uses bitwarden can still use their passwords even if the server dies.

EarMaster@lemmy.world 2 days agoThat is true for a single person - but in a multiple person household that would mean that everyone needs to carry a copy of their with them. So this mechanism is no replacement for a solid backup of the server somewhere else…

You are missing the point; the original comment was about not having the keys to restore the (I assume) encrypted backups. With Bitwarden you can still access the vault even if the server is offline/lost. It’s not a replacement for a backup strategy.
