We use Thycotic's Secret Server (
http://www.thycotic.com/products_secretserver_overview.html), which is
server-based (Win2k8 + ASP.NET + SQL Server). It supports multi-user
access, two-factor authentication, audit logging, and all that good
enterprise-level stuff. We've been using it for a little over a year now
and have been quite happy with it.

 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.****
