Interestingly I did find a directory there named '11.5_bak' however when restoring it to the 11.5 folder it did not bring back my connections. Best Regards Timothy Bryan We are what we repeatedly do.

Although my search was not comprehensive, I couldn't find a backup of it anywhere that I looked. If anyone has had this happen to them or knows how to recover the connection info (and more importantly to me, the named SQL), please chime in. Apparently, this is happening to multiple users. In my situation, I don't recall an expectant shutdown or anything unusual.

After a restart I received a message indicating the password file cannot be shared between different users and it will be replaced. My connections page is empty. I had about 15 or 20 database connections with saved passwords in here. Is there any way to salvage this? Where is this file saved so I can back it up?
