We do the exact same thing with KeePass.

We use Keepass with the database file stored on a departmental file share. The share is backed up nightly so in the 
event there is corrupt we could go back to a previous version. A few of us also periodically copy the database locally 
in the event that the file share is inaccessible or we are mobile.

Hello-

Could anyone share a best practice with regard to the storage and safe keeping of the collection of all system 
passwords?  Is using a keepass type application the best approach?  What about redundancy in the event you can't get to 
the stored list or it is corrupt?

Any advice and/or opinions would be very helpful.

Thanks
Stacy
