Version 5 Version 4. Evernote is a useful service for syncing files across your devices. But, like other cloud-based syncing services, it's subject to human error. For example, you may accidentally delete a notebook, or you may want to return to an earlier version of a note.
That's where the Code42 app comes in. This article describes how you can back up individual notebooks with the Code42 app. To back up Evernote files, you must have Evernote installed on a desktop or laptop computer not just a mobile device.
You can use Evernote's export command to save your files to a location that the Code42 app backs up. Follow the steps below for your operating system.
Evernote: How to back up export and restore import notes and notebooks. Incydr Professional, Enterprise, and Gov F2. I have s of notes and now want to secure that I will not loose them and do a weekly back-up that is as easy as possible. And thinking that my HD on desktop would expload if I use it as my source for backup so prefer an external version. I am using Mac. Any sweet suggestions how to go about this. The export function will create an ENEX-file, that contains the information.
This file think of it like a box with your notes in it can be copied, moved and saved as any other file, to an external drive, a USB stick, to the cloud, wherever.
To restore, you import it back into EN. A number of other notes applications support the import of ENEX-files as well. Just be aware that the note-notebook-information is not contained, so if you want to conserve your notebook structure , you should export notebook by notebook, and name the ENEX-files in a way you know which is which. To make this easier, on a Mac you could use a script - but if you say you are not tech savvy, probably scripting it not on your agenda. So if you want to run a manual backup yourself is up to you - I doubt the necessity.
There is a feature in EN you may not know: For each note, there is a note history running in the background on the EN server. When a note is modified and synced to the server, the old version is conserved about once a day. As long as the note still exists, you can open note history and go back to an earlier version. You can even create a copy of the old version, to have the current and the old content side by side. It runs for all accounts, access is a premium feature. You find it in the note information.
Notes can only be read by importing the mass file into Evernote. There are examples on this forum of notes being wiped out by EN sync. Then they are lost forever. This has happened to me. I also worry about the case where EN goes out of business and we can't access our data. The way they continue to "improve" things is resulting in paying customers leaving, and the alternatives are getting better.
That creates a risk that I'm not prepared to take. As you can see I am a Level 1 user on this forum. EN has just worked in the past and I never had any motivation to get on here and comment. Now it has got so bad I am contemplating moving to another software. And if I do decide to move to another platform, 15 exports of notes is no problem at all, I will go to that effort, so this crippling change they made to backup is just dumb.
Nobody will argue that pushing v10 on us users was a shining star among software releases in the last years. But mainly it produced initially duplicates of notes, not data losses. The syncing of the clients, especially the iOS client were fragile at first, but this did wreck new shared content on import, not notes already created and synced to the server.
If you are loosing sleep on what could happen to your data, do whatever you need to do to regain your calm. Just remember that just because a new company may grow fast, it does not mean it is or will one day be profitable.
There are enough examples of startups that were looking very bright, when in fact they had no business model at all, and were just burning through their seed money. Some even produce a lock-in, nicely importing the data from an EN account, but not offering an export option themselves. For me the question is simply which app does support my use cases best. So as long as I can stay on legacy, there is no need to rush a decision.
This is a really interesting thread, and something that I am constantly thinking about. I have, for years, backed up the 'legacy' data file on a regular basis compressed then pushed it into my data backup work-flow which utilises two public Cloud storage providers. Now that I am not able to backup the entire db without manually clicking 'export notebook' - I am more than a little worried, and am thinking that I should remove all my attachments realistically just the ones that I need which will take years - and store in multiple locations and simply refer to them in EN.
Notes I can export to other applications as a 'backup' And I do not like them as much! What's the problem - the Version 10 product maintains a local "database" I don't know how useful it is for restoring data.
The first backup for my EN data is the EN server. It holds multiple copies in several data centers, so it is safer than just a drive in a server somewhere. And it runs note history, so I have versioning as well, and can undo changes. The own backup from local data is just a fallback option on top.
I doubt it is really necessary, just one of these feelgood things. Is there a way to do this? I've had enough of the updates and this app no longer fits my use case and I want to leave. I agree I do have a saved. This tasks is manual, and goes against everything I try and do in my day-job - but I have tried EN alternatives, and always come back But you are right!
Hope for the best! And people like ENs new features and the company goes from strength to strength! I believe you have to do this one-by-one I had a notebook with notes and lots of notes in it If you are leaving EN, you could consider consolidating your notebooks to make things quicker but that may not work for you from an organisational point of view. What are you going to move to?! That might be familiarity and history - but I struggle to keep with any of there others for more than a few weeks OneNote was the longest!
This should be done anyhow - else you end up with all notes on a big heap, and no notebook assignment saved. The information which note is in which notebook gets lost on export, on old and new client. Name each export file with the notebook name to know where the content belongs. If you are up to it, you can automate the export by a script. But as a one-timer IMHO this is not worth the effort. And most important, because other programs will not always conserve the content as you want it: Select your future app, and then make a test import run.
I somehow can't find the 'export' button, no matter how I look - in the MacOS app, the web version, left mouse button, right mouse button. What am I missing? Can you provide details on exactly what you're "restoring" from Time Machine? Be aware that the master version of our data is stored on the Evernote servers - a local "restore" impacts the local data copy.
Aah … if tag and notebook assignments -are- restored, that was an apparently improper surmise on my part. I don't currently use TM and am not currently trying to restore anything. I'm considering which backup scheme to use and am still wondering whether TM can be used for a complete backup and restore that will restore tag and notebook assignments and tag hierarchy or is it only for one note at a time?
Thx … So if one first deleted the online database and then recovered from TM, all would be restored? You can select all notes, move them to the trash and empty it. Then probably have not tried when you restored the local copy from backup and sync, the local notes will be trashed as well. Thx … Under those assumptions, then TM backup is good only for recovery of individual notes but not for EN Apocalypse. I'm setting aside the issue of local notebooks. Personally I think your EN apocalypse is not going to happen.
There is not a single copy of the server data - it is distributed over several data centers, in copies, so if one is down, another takes over. And if EN would go offline completely … , there would be not master server to overwrite your local Backup any longer.
Just start your legacy client to open it. Although I doubt that this will be the most pressing problem in that case you will have to solve. A more flexible way is to export as ENEX file one large file, can be read by a number of other programs, do the export notebook by notebook or as HTML, which creates one HTML file per note, and can be opened by browser.
This makes you independent from a specific software to read your backup. There are enough possibilities to create your own backup - which sets EN apart from many other competing programs, that often have no or only proprietary export options.
That will work If you tag "each note to match it's notebook", why do you even bother with using notebooks? Isn't the tag sufficient. The best way to backup Evernote is to use the cloudHQ service , which is designed to replicate and synchronize data.
Even if you revise or create Evernote data via mobile or via web interface, these changes will be backed up immediately.
This can backup Evernote securely as no matter what happens- your laptop gets stolen, your Evernote account is hacked and data deleted or even if user error results in the accidental deletion of data, all of your data will remain in the backup Dropbox account and can be easily restored without a big hassle. The cloudHQ setup is simple and when you securely backup Evernote, you can have peace of mind that your data is safe from accidental or malicious deletion.
