    Backupery - backup Evernote data to your computer automatically

    in Evernote Integrations

    Posted

    Thank you for trying our app :)
     
    on Install,  Windows immediately 'protected' me from unknown software - kinda unsettling if you aren't expecting it...
    Yes, we know about the issue. In order to be trusted on Windows 8 any software publisher needs to either buy a digital certificate or distribute software through Microsoft Windows Store. We plan to get the certificate soon, so the warning will disappear.
     
    Checking the About tab I see this is a trial version expiring on 31/10
    By default, the trial period for the software is 14 days.

    The first backup starts immediately without any warnings or options - agree with Morticia I'd like a choice where it goes,  and I'd suggest a 'backup now,  or postpone?' (for 1/2/4/8 hours) option.
    Some sort of a progress bar would be good - I got 'working' but how do I know when it's finished?  Can I sleep/ switch off the machine in the meantime?
    The remarks seem really reasonable, taking them all into account. As for backup completion - currently, if you shutdown the computer during backup process, the worst thing can happen is you get an incomplete backup file. But the next version of the app (it is being tested now) marks any backup as 'completed' if it is completed successfully only. So, if you shutdown the computer during backup process, the backup will be considered as 'incomplete' and the next time you start the computer the app will start to backup the data again.

    Morticia,

    it turns out you are using obsolete version of the app. The current version is 2.0.853 (we have already changed the default backup period some time ago). Now the app makes backup every third day (I've just double-checked it). The program has to show notification about the new version though, probably we should make it more noticeable.

     

    Anyway, you could download the latest version here:

    Hi Gazumped,
    thanks for the information about your system.
     
    Is there any chance that you'll consider offering a notebook-by-notebook backup at any stage?  That might answer Morticia's query about some notes not needing backup - like my own digitised library forinstance,  which is for reference,  not for frequent (or any) editing.  It wouldn't be a hardship to have one or more notebook(s) backed up once every 6 months,  while others got processed every few days...

     

    Yes, selective backup seems very reasonable. We've taken this into an account already. I can't provide ETA for this feature now, but it will be on our roadmap.

    Hi Gazumped and Morticia,
     
    thank you very much for your feedback, I've taken everything into consideration. Here are my comments:
     
    - might take a long time - a full export of my c.21,000 notes seemed to take forever the last time I tried

    Export time depends on computer performance and each note size significantly. For example, we performed the test in our test lab for Evernote account with ~50.000 of notes, each note is about 5KB and it took ~1 minute only (Windows 8, Intel Core i7-4790, 3.60 GHz, 8GB RAM). Of course, we shouldn't treat this as a constant rule, but I am sure the export takes reasonable time. 

    May I ask what is the size of your Evernote database? (If you on Windows, just open your Evernote client, then  Tools/Options/General tab shows you where your database is located. You can then view that folder in Explorer to get the folder size).

    - doesn't preserve a notebook structure
    - doesn't include any clues as to notebook hierarchy
    - breaks note-to-note links
    Yes, unfortunately it is a limitation of ENEX export of a whole Evernote database.
     
    - restores as one potentially huge notebook that could break even premium upload limits

    After restoring you could mark this notebook as local so it won't sync with Evernote servers, then select those notes that are should be synced and move them to notebooks that are synced with Evernote. Generally speaking, most backup solutions mean restoring large amounts of data in case of emergency. One of Backupery advantages is that all your backup data is stored locally, so you don't need to download it from clouds. 

     
    - might be happening at the same time I'm editing a note - which version survives?  (If I'm managing an export of my own,  I'm -by definition- not doing anything else!)
    Backupery exports unsynchronized notes too, so the note with the latest modifications will survive (even if it wasn't synchronized with Evernote servers).
     
    - It seems that the default settings are every third hour.

    It is just an obsolete screenshot on our website. Default settings are every third day.

     
    One more note: actually we are going to add compression of backup directory + we have already implemented deletion of backup duplications.
     
    Does that answer your question? Please let me know.

    Hello,

     

    I am a co-founder of Backupery, we are making local backup software.

     

    I am glad to present you Backupery for Evernote application. It is a lightweight application that makes automatic backup of Evernote notes to local hard drive.

     

    Here are some highlights:

    • The application is very small (~700KB) and easy to use.
    • Backup is started by scheduler, so a user doesn't need to run it manually.
    • We don't send any bit of your data beyond your computer, so all your data belongs to you only, forever.
    • The software works without internet connection (it is essential if you are travelling, for example).
    • Since the app utilizes Evernote-standart export technology (ENEX), no third-party tools are required for restoring (Evernote client is enough).
    • Since we are using ENEX-export, the app backups local (unsynchronized) notebooks and unsynchronized notes.
    You could read more and download the application here: http://www.backupery.com/products/backupery-for-evernote/

     

    It is for Windows only for now, but we are working on Mac version also.

     

    Any questions, suggestions or ideas are highly appreciated, please let me know here, or use contact@backupery.com.

     

    Best,

    John
