KeePass backup

Seamless and secure way to manage your Keepass database, where every update you make is automatically synchronized and backed up without any additional effort. The outlined solution enables this by connecting your local instance of Keepass to a remote WebDAV server, ensuring that your password database (.kdbx file) is always safely stored and accessible from anywhere.

When you open Keepass, the latest version of your database is retrieved from a WebDAV server (or any remote location). This means you’re always working with the most up-to-date information, no matter where you are and how many devices you use.

Whenever you save your database, automated triggers are executed to ensure that your data is not only stored securely but also backed up in additional location. The first trigger creates a temporary copy of the .kdbx file on your local machine. This copy acts as a safeguard during the backup process, ensuring that your working version remains intact.

Immediately after, the second trigger uploads this temporary copy to a designated CDN (Content Delivery Network). This step creates a secure backup of your database, providing an extra layer of protection by storing it in a different location.

When you’re done using Keepass and decide to exit the application, a final trigger is activated. This trigger automatically deletes the temporary file created during the save process, ensuring that no unnecessary copies of your sensitive data are left on your device.
