Can’t Find KeePass Kdbx Database File After Win7 Reinstall

  • 1

I needed to reinstall windows 7, so I backed up the c: drive, reinstalled windows with no problems. I reinstalled my programs, including open-source Keepass Password Safe, but I cannot find the *.kdbx file. Any suggestions?

    1. KeePass has a forum. You may be able to find help there. I was not familiar with that program but did review their site. There are two methods to run the program. You can install it or it can be portable with no installation. If you use the portable version nothing is written to the hard drive.
      If you used the installed method the file must be stored somewhere but may be encrypted. Try the forum for help.

      BTW, I use Windows 7 too and also have Acronis True Image. I have found that the Windows backup is a better option with Windows 7.

      Many users of Acronis have complained about the program when used in Windows 7.

      I haven’t had the need to perform a restore so I am not sure if Windows backup will allow restoring individual files or not.
