KeePass syncronization setup

prepare

• http://keepass.info/plugins.html#keeanywhere
• https://github.com/Kyrodan/KeeAnywhere/releases/download/v1.0.0/KeeAnywhere-1.0.0.plgx
• upload database to cloud drive
• close keepass
• open database from cloud drive (online)

create a backup file, with the word BACKUP in the middle if the file (for better trigger control)

• file > save as > save copy to file > c:\temp\file-BACKUP.kdbx
• file > synchronize > synchronize with file > c:\temp\file-BACKUP.kdbx

Set triggers to sync a local BACKUP

• new trigger > enable > initially on
• events > saved database file > contains "file.kdbx"
• no conditions
• ...

actios... be carefull here...

see: http://keepass.info/help/kb/trigger_examples.html#infiniteloop

• 'Change trigger on/off state' >> 'Trigger name' = empty >> 'New state' = 'off'.
• 'synchronize active database with a file/URL' >> select local filename = c:\temp\file-BACKUP.kdbx
• 'Change trigger on/off state' >> 'Trigger name' = empty >> 'New state' = 'on'.

note: this also works if you open a local file and save it to a remote location!
