Keeping Evernote legacy as an offline program w/o syncing

[Thorsten Albrecht 9]

To be sure to keep and backup the Evernote legacy installation (as a sort of offline archive) I recommend the following steps:

1. Backup your Evernote installation
   1. Be sure to be logged on in Evernote legacy when going through the following steps
   2. Backup Registry values
      • [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Evernote]
   3. Backup Database folder (%userprofile%\Evernote)
      • Warning: Be sure to back it up only when every Evernote process in Windows has been killed!
        • e. g. WebClipper, Evernote Tray Icon, Evernote legacy
   4. Write down your Volume id from Volume C: (with 'dir C:')
2. Stop network traffic to and from Evernote legacy
   • create an outgoing and incoming firewall rule
   • Adjust your sync settings in Evernote legacy
     • deactivate everything except sync in background (for minimizing to tray)
3. In case of a damage of your Evernote legacy installation:
   • it's possible to restore everything with the help of data and information collected in steps 1.2. - 1.4.
   • Hint: The volume ID of 'C:' should not be changed (e. g. it changes when you repartition your volume 'C:')
   • no network is necessary to open Evernote legacy when the data has been restored properly
