Securing my Evernote Data

[wolff@freedomfflow.com 0]

I've been using the free version of Evernote for a while now, via the web client, and I've compiled quite a bit of information I can't afford to lose.

How can I back up my evernote data?  Is there a need to do this, or are there multiple copies stored disparately already?  Given there is a note history feature, I'm thinking perhaps there are already multiple back ups I could recover from if something happened to cause a problem on Evernote at some point.

I work on a Ubuntu operating system, so I don't know if there is a client that would enable me to download and store an archive of my notes.

Please advise on a good strategy to ensure no data loss with Evernote.

Thank you

CloudHQ can be used as a backup solution

EN rents it’s servers from Google, so they are professionally run, located in safe data centers, and there are several copies. Note history is running for all users, although you need a paid account to get access to it. However, note history will not help if a note was permanently deleted.

Personally I think backing up is a good idea. It is of course much easier when you use the Windows or Mac platform, because they hold a local copy of your EN data base. I run a job with Acronis True Image that creates a copy of my EN data base every day.

Probably if you are on Linux only, you have to try the direct cloud sync as advised by @DTLow  .

Thanks - I do have a windoze machine I can wake up -- So I need a paid account to create backups?  I don't see the option in my free account

You have 2 options:

1. Export your data as described before
2. Create a backup of the database folder with a 3rd party backup program

The first option will create a file that can be loaded to other programs as well. Just be aware that the notebook information is not conserved - so better export each notebook into an individual file, to be able to recreate it notebook by notebook.

The second option does not create a readable file - but you can recreate your data base by simply restoring the backup.

Both are not necessary as long as your server data is untouched.
