Backup
KeePass is a password management software. The program creates an encrypted database that you were prompted to give a name and file location to it when you first installed KeePass. You only need to make a backup copy of the database if you store it on your hard drive. The extension for this database will be .kdbx
Search for any .kdbx file on your hard drive. Make a copy, and store it on your network drive or OneDrive for Business.
