lagamine 0 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I'm aware you cannot backup your data locally without a premium account... So if I can't backup my own data, do the Evernote servers create backups? I've heard of people losing notes etc. Are they recoverable? I was considering using this program for my work but not if I'm at risk losing it...
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted October 23, 2014 Level 5* Posted October 23, 2014 That's not correct (and I don't know where you heard it). You can certainly back up your data with a free account. One of Evernote's rules: your data is yours. On desktop clients, you can back up using export commands, and you can back up to several formats. Evernote's servers serve as backups, and as a hub for syncing to other devices. The servers do maintain some note history, and you can get notes back, if you need to, but it's not set up to be a real versioning system. I have heard of users losing notes, but it hasn't happened to me. I also back up my note databases (I have two accounts) semi-regularly.
Level 5 JMichaelTX 4,120 Posted October 23, 2014 Level 5 Posted October 23, 2014 All desktop users (Win and Mac) can backup/export/archive all of their Notes.While Evernote may backup their Cloud servers, these backups are NOT available to end users.Don't rely on Evernote for your backup. Make your own backups frequently, at least daily. I backup my EN Mac notes on an hourly basis using Mac Time Machine.

A Mac will automatically create purgatory files, but you can manually archive work on Mac and Windows with these Knowledge Base instructions: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/28607737
