OK, that makes sense and I appreciate the help. Regarding the EXB file being rewritten every five minutes - is that something that can be fixed?

The NAS is a Synology. There is a Synology app that allows me to choose which files will be backed up to the NAS. Screenshot attached. The PC is set to sleep never. The NAS's HDDs are set to hibernate at 20 min. I checked the history of the cloud sync and it indeed shows the EXB file being synced every five minutes, 24 hours a day on the three random days I sampled.

According to Control Panel > Programs and Features only the v6.

If I'm understanding your question (due to my lack of tech understanding, not any fault of your communication), the NAS syncs to its cloud storage any time a file changes. According to Windows Explorer, the EXB file's time is updated every five minutes (and a few seconds) without any input from me. I've had this setup for at least one year and haven't had this issue until about three or four months ago. That three or four months estimate is based on 29,000 (file versions on the cloud) X 5 minutes = ~145,000 = 94 days. I do not know exactly when the issue began.

The database file is on my NAS and the NAS is synced to the cloud.

Is it normal that the EXB file is rewritten every five minutes? That did not happen prior to three or four months ago.

I just found that my cloud storage has 29,000 copies of my .exb file. It is being backed up every five minutes. I would appreciate any comments on how to troubleshoot this issue. Evernote 6.25.2.9198 (309198) - Windows 10

If I use Web Clipper to save a web page as a Note in EN, does that Note remain accessible to me even if the web page from which it came is no longer available on the web?

I see that when I bring a Word doc (for example) into EN, it's still a Word doc (as opposed to the content as if I had copied and pasted into EN). That makes sense - the formatting is kept intact. Q1. Are there any disadvantages of retaining the content in its Word doc form? Q2. Can you think of any situation when it would make more sense to bring in the content only?

I am new to Evernote and I'm wondering what is a good way to begin. I have lots of notes and info, mostly in Word docs and PDFs. Do I somehow bring those entire documents into EN or do I need to copy the contents of those documents and paste as notes into EN? Suggestions appreciated!
