my google-fu is failing me, and then i remember wendell always saying to come on down to the forums! so here we go. of coarse its the one file that i give a shit about, my encrypted keepass password database file. i enter the password and get can not open file corrupt. i have a backup from an earlier date, not sure how many entries since then. is there a way to fix / recreate the file from the old backup and get the new entries? am i boned just use the old backup..? system info: ubuntu 15.10 gnome. 250Gb ssd for os and the ol 2Tb drive from my windows install. the file is on my old ntfs partition. has been working flawlessly since i made the switch to linux. (which being new to linux really impressed me that it can read ntfs no sweat) and now this. thanks in advance -tb

Useful to tag @Wendell. not sure though how to do it.

where is this file? On a Linux or Windows partition? I'm trying to follow your question but I'm a bit lost

this may help http://keepass.info/help/base/repair.html if that dosn't work comparing the files in a hexeditor may do the trick.

thanks but i wasn't trying to page the master. just maybe some other linux wizards around..

6

the file is on an old windows partition that im still using on linux. since linux is awesome and reads ntfs i thought i was golden. should i be migrating files to another ext4 partition?
