Evernote Backup to Hard Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive

To backup Evernote data, you must either export a copy of your notes to a copy of the database (an .enex file) or snapshot a local Evernote folder which is located (for modern Evernote for Windows versions) by the path:

C:\Users\[Username]\Evernote

There [Username] is the name of a particular user running this instance of Evernote. Both methods create a copy of your Evernote data, which Handy Backup will save automatically to another place.

Exporting the Evernote Database

When you backup Evernote data using creating an .enex file, the program packs all your messages and pictures to a single Evernote database. Keeping this Evernote backup to hard drive, you can select the folder where you plan to backup Evernote files in .enex format.

Attention: This process takes some time and storage space, as the final Evernote database can be bulky due to containing all the Evernote content created or placed into notes by a particular user!

Handy Backup provides some useful features to automatically backup Evernote. Some of these features include such things as:

• Automatic searching of .enex files through drive to make an Evernote database backup;
• Preserving native data formats of notes, to make granular restore or to browse backups;
• Scheduling backup tasks for an exact time and periods from months to minutes of intervals;
• Running missed tasks, reporting about the task activity and results, notifying by email;
• Different backup methods to reduce time and space taken by backups.

In addition to these features, Handy Backup contains many other useful functions, including data compression and encryption, running other software before or after backup, creating time stamps and excluding unusable files from backups by attributes.
