Can you send me 3 .kdbx files samples ? I will check what the differences are between .kdb and .kdbx files.

Hi,

I'm also looking to recover a KeePass2 .kdbx file. I've attached a zip file with 3 samples. Any help in creating a signature would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks, but unfortunately I ended up with one enormous (300Gb+) .kdbx file.

Any thoughts? I sincerely appreciate your time and effort!

Thanks again!

Keep all file format enabled. This way PhotoRec will stop the recovery of the kdbx file when a new file is found.

Thank you!!

Between the file recovered by Photorec, and the repair option in Keepass, I was able to successfully restore all of the info. A donation will certainly be headed your way this week!

Again, thanks for your effort and assistance - it's sincerely appreciated!
