When there is a new version of Evernote available, I get a pop up window asking if I want to download it. But it doesn't say what version it is. This seems like a simple thing but is very inconvenient if it is not there. I have to go scrawling through the Evernote website to work out which version of Evernote is being offered to me. 
The reason this matters to me is that knowing which version is being offered to me makes a big difference as to whether or not I do want to download it. Compare for example:

1. upgrading from 10.38 to 10.39 
2. upgrading from 10.38 to 11.0
3. upgrading from 10.38 to 11.1

I would be much more cautious about upgrading to 11.0 when there are likely to be teething problems to such a big upgrade as opposed to 11.1 when there has been some ironing out of those teething problems. 

So, please can you tell me in the pop up window, which version of Evernote you are asking me to upgrade to. 
Thank you.

I get a pop-up when there is a new update available. But the pop-up doesn't say what version number the update is for. 
It would be useful to know what version update you are offering, so I know whether I want to update or not.

For example, my response would be different if the update was for 10.33.41 or 10.34 or 11.0 or 11.1. 

Got it thanks!

I see what you mean, yes. Now I see the appeal of having an encrypted notebook.

I can't find this setting. Where is it? 

I have:

10.29.7-mac-ddl-public (3186)
 

I appreciate the encryption feature. But I don't understand why I can't encrypt text that has headings, or bullet points. 

Please enable encryption of formatted text.

Reading through this thread I think you are lacking some basic knowledge about how your computer is working.

This is no problem as long as you stick to use the installed programs in the way they are build for. EN is not build to support a local backup. If you know what you do, you can run it. But you need to know what you do in case you run a restore, because you are manually modifying files meant to be modified by the program itself.

The EN folder holds all necessary information. But in itself it is not readable - you need the EN client to open the backup files and reload it to the server. Which shows the problem - the same (or nearly the same) notes are already on the server. As I said: EN has no official local backup strategy. It can be done, but it contradicts the server focussed way of holding the users information.

If you want to continue on this path, I think you should create a small Free Account, only for testing purposes. Put some play notes into it, get somebody as your IT buddy, and run through alls steps of making and restoring a backup. You avoid damaging your own server data by accident.

Good idea. I might try the test account idea. Thank you!

You don''t "delete EN" from  your computer

1 Close the EN app; disconnect from the internet
2 Restore the EN folders from your backup (Time Machine or other)  
3 Open the EN app   
   
Before connecting to the internet, make sure you save any notes you're trying to restore   
The automatic sync will update your database to the latest version

How do I restore the EN folders from my backup? 
Finder > Library > Application Support > Evernote? .... then what do I do?

I think the poster is right: it might be needed to restore both the EN folders and the Evernote client as well because the folder structure and  data may be specific per Evernote version(s). There is no guarantee that the format stays the same between versions. It is implementation specific data that belongs to the internals of the EN client. It is not standardized like the ENEX format which is the official way of archiving. 

Is the ENEX format automatically saved on Time Machine?

You cannot access an individual note from the folder.  You would have to install the Evernote software to access your notes. The data directory isn't a simple collection of notes and attachments. Rather all linked to the servers online and connected via the application software.

The folder depends upon your OS.  The details are further up this thread.

So if I use Time Machine, will it back up the local database on my computer?
And then if I need to restore EN notes, I delete EN from my computer, then download it again using the database from the Time Machine?
Can someone explain in simple English how to do that? sorry I don't know much! 😅

If you want to run a backup, simply grab the whole folder.

If you run TimeMachine, you already have a backup, because the folder will be in your TM backup.

By "the whole folder" do you mean Finder > Library > Application Support > Evernote?

How would I then access a note from that folder?

Correct; Evernote/Mac maintains a full copy of the database

I have seen the thread but I still can't find the "full copy of the database". I got as far as:

Finder > Library > Application Support > Evernote

But then there was a whole load of folders and files that I don't understand (I am not a computer whiz!).

How do I find the locally stored Evernote notes on my Mac?

All of my shortcuts are gone! I used the "insert date" and "quick switchers" a lot. Please bring them back!

Insert Date is ⇧ ⌘ D
