Running 10.74.1 Windows and 10.73.3 Mac. I have 9K notes in a notebook I was last able to backup to a single 10 GB .enex file in July 2023 -- this was on the Windows desktop app after it failed on a Mac. The backup took several hours and nearly ground to a halt periodically, so I suspected computational resources was perhaps a factor (i7 16 GB, i5 24 GB for the Mac). A couple weeks ago I tried to backup the same notebook on an M3 24 GB Mac and the same Windows machine; in both cases I got the endless spooling in the box that should offer the option to split the backup into 2-3 GB chunks. I get the same spooling with much smaller notebooks, and per some comments above, I have no encrypted notes in the notebooks that failed to backup. As a precaution I imported the 10 GB enex file into Joplin, which devoured it in about 20 min. on the M3, all perfectly formatted. Evernote does currently export .enex notes in batches of 100, so I was able to export the notes since 7.2023 into 8.enex files. I am hoping that Bending Spoons will take care of its legacy/paying users with large notebooks by soon fixing this export glitch, particularly since it is now touting 100K note capacity for its personal and professional plans -- I don't think anyone wants to backup 100k notes 100 at a time.
