May I ask, is that with the third-party software?

Yes, I can perform a backup from the legacy version (but for how long?) The new version (10) does, of course, allow backup, but only to Enex, and only notebook-by-notebook or 50 notes at a times. With scores of notebooks and thousands of notes, it is not feasible to have a backup that takes maybe ten minutes (as opposed to five seconds) to run. Backupery is apparently an option, but it's not free. I'm loathe to pay for a workaround.

I store information in Evernote. I need to back it up. The new version does not allow backup. I can back up from the legacy version, but since there's no indication of how long that will be available, I have had to transfer all my information to other software, because, if the legacy version is deactivated and there is a data loss, I'm stuffed. This is not an idle fear, considering that the IOS app is currently not syncing to the main database and the new Windows app was not syncing properly for almost two weeks. Ironically, Evernote's help team helpfully suggested that I make a backup. Evernote recognises the need for backup but does not implement it. It's basically the first question an intelligent user asks about a platform to store information: How can I make sure I don't lose the data? This is not a fancy bells-and-whistles function. This is a key function. I'm now using a combination of Joplin and Simplenote. These are simply better products. It took under 5 seconds to backup all the data simply and securely for both.

That's helpful to know. It seems odd that they would release a product in which an ordinary user like myself, within minutes, discovers numerous fundamental problems that prevent normal use. There was no warning that this was the case.

I used to be able to select all notes and export to create a backup. The Version 10.4.4 build 2096 public does not allow this. How can I export all the notes? What conceivable reason would justify not permitting a 'select all' function? To backup several thousand notes I would have to perform scores of operations. I have found maybe thirty or forty individual problems since this new software was installed.

Has this been solved since the time of the original posts?
