    Another Backup Plugin (ABP) is a plugin for the KeePass password manager.
    ABP automatically copies the initially-opened password database to one or
    more backup files, so that the passwords can be recovered in case of loss.

    For more about KeePass, see http://keepass.info/

    Release Notes
    =============

    Installation Instructions
    -------------------------

    1. Download and install ABP in the same way as you would any other KeePass plugin:
    Unzip the ABP zip file into the folder containing KeePass.exe.
    2. Start KeePass with a command line argument specifying the initial database to
    open,
    as well as a command line argument of the form /backup.path:BACKUP_PATH.

    See documentation for additional details.

    Documentation
    -------------

    Comprehensive documentation is available in any of the following ways:

    1. Open the accompanying file "AnotherBackupPlugin.chm".


    2. Point your browser to the ABP website at http://ABP-KeePass.sourceforge.net
    3. If you have installed ABP, from the KeePass main window select
    "Tools", and then "Help for Another Backup Plugin".

    Item 2 above provides the latest documentation updates.


    The date of last documentation update is shown on the first page.

    Version 1.12 for KeePass 1.17 or later 4Dec2009


    ------------------------------------------------

    1. ABP exploits the file transactions option introduced in KeePass 1.17.


    Old backup files can no longer be destroyed by half-written new backup
    files. Therefore, this version of ABP requires KeePass 1.17 or
    later.

    Version 1.11 for KeePass 1.16 or later 5Jun2009


    ------------------------------------------------

    1. Bug fix: ID 2786478 "ABP incompatible with KeePass -lock option".


    2. This fix required changes to KeePass and the Plugin Framework for KeePass.
    Therefore, this version of ABP requires KeePass 1.16 or later.
    3. Help document: Added paragraph "Windows Security Warning" to
    section "How to Install ABP", on page "Installing and Configuring ABP".
    Revised various sections as needed to properly account for KeePass /lock
    command line argument.

    Version 1.10 for KeePass 1.15 or later 12Feb2009


    -------------------------------------------------

    This is the first version of ABP to use the new COM-based KeePass
    plugin interface, and the first version of ABP to use the
    Plugin Framework for KeePass (PFK). This version of ABP should
    continue to work with every future version of KeePass 1.x. In addition,
    all future versions of ABP should work with KeePass 1.15 or later,
    unless otherwise noted.

    1. Although ABP functionality is unchanged, this is the most significant


    change in ABP design since its inception. Future versions of KeePass
    and ABP can now be released independently of each other.
    2. Changed design from using MFC threads to using Win32 threads. No
    change in function. However, the AnotherBackupPlugin.dll is
    now 22 percent smaller than in previous releases. This change
    is made possible by the new COM interface to plugins.
    3. Help document: Revised portions of the page "Installing and
    Configuring ABP" as follows: Revised section "How to Install ABP"
    to reflect simpler KeePass plugin installation procedure. Added
    paragraph, "Warning About Target Type", to section "Configuration
    Hints for Non-Geeks". Added brief explanation of start command
    and minimizing command windows to "Batch File" paragraph.
    4. Updated documentation to point to new ABP website URL.
    5. Renamed this file, ReleaseNotes.txt, to
    AnotherBackupPluginReleaseNotes.txt.
