Daderdog 2 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I have been having some problems with my computer which necessitates me doing a fresh install of my OS (10.15.4). I currently have EN 7.14. How do I move all my notes (~11K) to what is essentially a new computer? Thanks. Link to comment

Assuming no Local Notebooks, just install Evernote and login Evernote will download your notes from the server 1 Link to comment
Daderdog 2 Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I thought that would work, but as I understand it, the "master" database is on my Mac. I am concerned that when I wipe the hard drive, that would be seen as erasing all those notes. Not true? Link to comment

The "master" database is stored on the web server Wiping the hard drive will not be seen as erasing notes 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,794 Posted March 29, 2020 Level 5 Share Posted March 29, 2020 There will no harm been done if you install on 2 Macs at the same time. You can install on your new Mac first, get things up and running, and check whether the installation went through (it usually does). You can use both Macs in parallel, or you can stop using the old one once the new one is operational. Just make sure you have synced everything to the EN Server a last time before deleting the old machine. All data will download from the servers to the new Mac, and that is it. At the moment I am using EN (with an own database) on a Win10-PC, on my MacBook Pro and (Server based) on several mobile devices. This is no problem because as DTLow has pointed out, the master copy is the one on the server. 1 Link to comment

Amanda111 0 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi! How can I determine my Evernote DB size? I'm on OS (10.15.4). I currently have EN 7.14. Link to comment
Daderdog 2 Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'm not sure what the school solution is, but if you do a back up of your files, you will get a file called My Notes.enex which will show you how big a backup would be. Hope this helps. Link to comment
