Cannot find EN on TM (Time Machine, Mac)

[Mata Hari 15]

I have asked this question for a year ago. Still not solved.

I also asked the EN staff. No response

There are also others who ask this

Now I suspect EN deliberately does not show on TM because it maybe a s c "premium feature" ??

Apple hide the user/library folder in Time Machine as well as on your Mac. Google how to view it and then you'll be able to view the Evernote folder that is there.

 

This isn't a premium feature or some sort of conspiracy or actually anything to do with Evernote, and no, I'm not going to find you a link that explains why Apple do it or how to get round it.

 

Once you have figured that bit out, the Evernote location on TM is the same as on your Mac:

 

If you downloaded directly it's in user/library/application support/evernote

If you downloaded from the app store it's here ~/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote

And, if you have an iMac with a fusion drive, it might be here

/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote/Data/Library/Application Support/Evernote/account/<your username>/

In addition to what Metrodon said, Evernote now even has a link (last time I checked) directly to the database from within the app.

I'm not seeing that link on 5.5.1 and it won't actually help Minki out as he is looking for his data on his Time Machine drive.

In addition to all of that OS X defaults to hiding the Library folder which may contain your Evernote database. This is an Apple thing, NOT an Evernote thing. 

 

To force your Library to be shown, you can use the following command in Terminal:

sudo chflags nohidden ~/Library/

This should also make the library folder visible in your TM backups.

This will help.

Why not admit: there is no TM back up for EN. Not in the usual sense which is to just read the files on TM.
Now the question is how come ?

Since the backup issues is so problematic, EN is simply not worth time or money, which I said right from the beginning several years ago.

If you feel that way, Evernote is most likely not the correct product for you to be using. That's ok. It's not for everyone.

This is not an EN issue.  It is an Apple issue.  EN has nothing to do with how Time Machine backs up EN Files.  BTW, it is not just EN's files.  Any database on a Mac is hidden the same way. 

 

You can restore your EN Files from Time Machine the same way you would if the Library were not hidden.  So, you can do more with the files than just few them.

I guess that whole Word thing isn't working out for you.
