With this plugin installed I couldn't create new database. KeePass crashes with unhandled exception:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "d:\test.kdbx"

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make new database (with any settings, any path)
2. Save it

First of all: Thank you for your effort on this PlugIn! 👍

I just poked a bit through the code and thought about the way populating the bakFiles array: With the _*.kdbx-filter, it could be possible, that a non-backup database file gets added (and backup files from other databases). For example, if (an organisation) has the main database file example.kdbx and some other departments-only, like example_support.kdbx.
Depending on the constellation and number of backups of both files, example_support.kdbx could be deleted on the next save/write-out of KeePass to example.kdbx.

If I'm not too tired to think clearly, one solution could be to append .backup-[TIMESTAMP] to all backup files.

I'm not affected by this problem (as I use a hyphen to separate my database file names), so it's nothing urgen. Just wanted to share my thoughts about this. :-)

Hi, jnko!

Have error while starting keepass:

"The plugin cannot be loaded"
"The following plugin is incompatible with the current KeePass version:
<...>\Plugins\SimpleDatabaseBackup.plgx

Have a look at the plugin's website for an appropriate version."

Environment:
SimpleDatabseBackup ver.1.0.5
KeePass 2.34 (portable inst.)
OS: Windows XP

Note:
DataBaseBackup 2.0.8.6 plugin by Francis Noël loaded without errors.

Best regards
Victor.

I'm on Archlinux and SimpleDatabaseBackup isn't removing the old backups, only creates new ones.
The logfile only shows the last six!

Is this project maintained anymore?

I use your Plugin on Linux.
Where can I found the database-folder which contains the Backup-files?

Hi Joern,
I just realized a little issue with your plugin, which is otherwise working very well.

SDB does not create a backup file only when the database was saved but also everytime when there are triggers defined with the action "Synchronize active database with a file/URL". In my case I was syncing the database with three external cloud folders, so SDB is making one backup for the save, and three other backups for the sync.

Hmmmh. ;-)

Can you fix it?

Kind regards from Berlin/Germany.

Hi, I have problems with installig this plugin.

Install instruction from readme file:
(# Installing SimpleDatabaseBackup plugin
Please follow the KeePass documentation: http://keepass.info/help/v2/plugins.html
In short: Just put it into the KeePass.exe folder.)

I copied the SDB plugin folder in the keepass.exe folder, but it won´t work.
I also copied the SimpleDatabaseBackup.plgx file in keepass.exe folder, but this won´t work either.

Can you pls tell me how should i install it.

Thank you very much for your answer.

Hello,

first I like to say thank you for providing the plugin.

I just test it after destroying my database with sync. When I save everything was ok.

I tested then with the sync. The database before sync has about 400k and after the sync 8000k. But the backup file was only 400k big.

I thought that the backup is the state of the database after writing the new changes to disk. Is that right?
If I'm wrong please improve the description on the plugin page https://keepass.info/plugins.html

If I'm right the size of the backup should also by 8000k.

I hope you can enlighten ;-) me or fix it.

When to databases are synced than both databases where saved. But the file I enter to sync with the actual database have backup after the sync. This should not be.

Thanks
Itsalltext

If you let the plugin save the backup to a OneDrive folder, OneDrive stops syncing this folder until you restart your computer.

I was testing this on Windows 10

Would it be possible to either

1. Create a backup remotely of the file when it's stored on an FTP site, or
2. Create a local copy of the file where the application is installed (C:\Program Files.....) when saving TO the FTP site?

Just an idea - thanks for considering.

Hi, i copied the simpledatabase backup on the program folder, i can see in in the plugins of keepass (latest version), but i just saved my database and i see no backup file on the database folder.
Am saving on the google drive using the local path C:\Users\username\Google Drive\Personal\KeepPass Database
but i tested it with another database on the local path and again no backups

Am i doing something wrong ?

thank you
