Siz 0 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Help! I have messed up several hundred notes on one of my computers, which has subsequently synced to the server. But I have another two computers which have good copies of everything (and which I have isolated to stop them syncing with the rubbish). How do I replace everything on the server with one of the sets of good copies? And how do I then get everything back onto the crapped-up machine? I tried uninstalling Evernote on it and then reinstalling, but this is what caused the problems - despite uninstalling, the computer (Windows) remembered all my mistakes and synced them to the server! I have over 1,500 notes, which I cannot face losing Link to comment

Use the good data device and export the notes - enex format so it can be used as import - include tags - does not included notebook; a separate backup is required for each notebook 2. Delete the bad data 3. Sync to all devices; the bad data is now gone and the good data is in an export 4. Import the good notes 5. Sync to all devices. Link to comment

Check the "Include Tags" box on the export dialog Link to comment

The .exb file contains the notes, notebook and tag information. Link to comment

Check the title of the discussion - Replacing server copies of Notes Moving the .exb file to other machines might work at the pc level, but it wouldn't update the server, and when sync is enabled, the good version will be replaced with the bad version.
