How to make a copy of all notebooks and notes in my account?

[Scorp919 0]

At times, during the night, I find myself plagued by unsettling dreams. Recently, I experienced a particularly distressing one where I lost all the precious data I've accumulated in my Evernote account since 2010. This repository holds unique information that cannot be replicated elsewhere. I can't help but wonder if there might be a feature I'm unaware of that would allow me to upload all of this vital data. Could you kindly assist me in clarifying this matter?

Hi. Backups are a sensible precaution for all computer-related activity. It's possible to export notes and notebooks from Evernote fairly easily,  but I'd like to to be easier - please vote here if you agree > https://discussion.evernote.com/forums/topic/147706-please-add-an-export-all-notebooks-option-to-the-desktop-app-notebooks-page/

There are two options:

1. Manual export - From the Notebooks page (in Desktop) look for the three dots to the right of each notebook name.  Click there for export options.  "Export" will apply to all notes without any limit on numbers.  The process exports notebook content from the server,  so takes a little while. 
   Options currently available include output to various files types such as - HTML / PDF / ENEX.  To simply backup safely,  or to export your files to another service which can import that format,  ENEX is best. 
    
2. Third party services - external apps that download directly from the server
