How do you backup you'r KeePass database

I am shocked how many ppl think synchronization like syncthing act as a backup.

No synchronisation is not a backup. If you accidentally delete the database and it syncs across all devices then the database is gone. If something is broken and overrides multiple times then the history if it is enabled is also gone.

Pls use proper backup methods to backup your database.

Edit: I sync my database also with syncthing across devices. But to back it up i have on multiple clients system backups running that include the database.

Manually make a backup with the date in the file name stored in another folder and on a thumb drive.

All my systems backup to a remote box that has a hotswap bay that I rotate the drive every few weeks between another drive. The drive out of the hotswap bay is stored in a fire safe.

This is more all for images and documents, but everything gets the same backup since it’s whole systems. The backups are rsync with hard links so they take up less room.

I manually copy it to my phone, a thumb drive, a cloud service and another computer whenever I change something. I also let the filename show on which device and on what date the files was last modified. Example: Passwords_MY-SMARTPHONE_260314.kdbx

I save a copy on my PC regularly (because I use keepassdx primarily, an android-only client), and I upload it to signal. Yes, I use signal as cloud storage, and it works really well! I have peace of mind that the file is encrypted using top-notch encryption, and only accessible by my linked devices.

It lies on my cloud which I backup regularly to a spare computer via restic.

I keep multiple dated backups made using a script shell + crontab, to automate the thing.
