notetakeingguy 90 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I try to backup my Evernote on a regular basis. I am going to migrate to Win 10, so thought I'd do another backup. I just backedup a month ago. Then, the ENEX file of the notebook I backed up was 1.4 GB. Today when I did a backup of the same notebook, it came to 820 KB. What changed? Why isn't it backing up as big anymore? On Options, I am choosing everything, though attachments isn't an option Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,661 Posted July 4, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted July 4, 2016 Haven't noticed any major changes, but recent updates have involved "database upgrades" about which I must confess I know nothing. It's conceivable that more compression has been built in to speed up operations, but you'd need to raise a support request to get a more informed (and possibly more correct) answer... Link to comment
Level 5* CalS 5,280 Posted July 5, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted July 5, 2016 Did you move notes to another notebook perchance or delete some from the notebook? Link to comment
notetakeingguy 90 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 I did not remove anything. This is the notebook I use to capture everything from conferences I attend. Most of the 903 items have a PDF attachment of the slide deck or abstract from a given conference. I could try importing the ENEX file in to make sure it has everything. Link to comment

The notes will go into a new notebook. Link to comment

After reading the above message, I right clicked on the notebook and chose Export. It took a lot longer, showned the progress through all 903 notes, and the file size was the 1.4 GB I expected. So it seems when I did File Export, it didn't grab the right notes. Thanks for the prompt help. Link to comment
