lpspinner33 3 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have noticed when I back up my computer to my Syonolgy NAS there is a large file (400Mb+) in the Evernote Databases directory called rknopf.exb. Since my handle is rknopf, I am sure the name is based on the account. My problem is the file seems to be changing constantly, leading Synology Cloud Backup to back it up every 15-20 seconds, causing my backups to drag out interminably. Can anyone explain this behavior and is there any way to stop it outside of excluding the Databases directory from the backup? Link to comment
Level 5* DTLow 5,736 Posted February 12, 2018 Level 5* Share Posted February 12, 2018 On Windows, Evernote uses a single massive .exb file to store your notes database A minor change to the database results in the .exb file being updated On my Mac, the database is distributed - a separate folder for each note A minor note update, results in a minor update to one of the files I have my database backed up by the TimeMachine feature and it requires minimal activity Link to comment

Maybe this isn't an Evernote issue.... Link to comment

This one was easy to set up and provided by the manufacturer of my NAS, but seems possible it is the culprit and not Evernote so I might be looking for a new backup program. Link to comment
