To create aencrypted backup with attachments, you can use Portwarden: https://github.com/vwxyzjn/portwarden
Also a good way to migrate from bitwarden to vaultwarden or to switch vaultwarden instances.

Bitwarden is probably a lot safer if you self host (which I do). You do inherently lose some security by having a server that holds your encrypted password database, but my instance isn't exposed to the internet.
are you using the official bitwarden server or vaultwarden? been thinking about selfhosting it myself, but i would need to expose it to the internet, and i'm not really sure if i'm up to the task of properly securing it
Good tip, I’ll get on it. I use Bitwarden’s cloud server for convenience, but if they were to shut down tomorrow, I’d be screwed
Only somewhat screwed. The client still has a local offline cache. So you don't immediately lose everything. The cache is read-only though and doesn't contain attachments.
Also remember: the normal export function of bitwarden also "just" exports the database entries; not the file attachments.
A good cloud based password manager is end to end encrypted
Presumably end-to-end encrypted. Do not trust any of them. There is no good cloud-based password manager.
My personal recommendations:

Bitwarden is open source and audited: https://bitwarden.com/help/is-bitwarden-audited/
You can't prove that their server is running the exact same code. A self-hosted Bitwarden server might be reasonably secure, but as far as I can tell, Bitwarden('s server component) is not designed for single users.
I don't have to trust the server, if I trust the client in an e2ee model. Their server could only be a security issue, if the encryption wouldn't be e2e. And then the whole application would suck.
but it also supports age
Honestly, i applaud age for being very simple to use and less likely to screw up as a result, but i wouldn't rely on it for files as sensitive as a password database, its relatively new and hasn't been audited.
Yet. I hope it will. (The developer is a great dude though.)
