Onenote notebook sharing and backup

Post by tt
Hi,
I am a new user of OneNote 2016 (from Evernote). My problem seems quite
simple, I would like to share some of the note books AND be able to backup
them to some external HD or so on...
Sharing a notebook is easy, just move it to OneDrive and share. Then the
local notebook file just becomes a link to the notebook in OneDrive. Ok,
but now how can I backup the notebooks in OneDrive ?
.backup function in OneNote just copies local notebooks to backup folder
(NOT OneDrive ones)
.export from OneNote works but remains a manual action
.downloading notebook files from OneDrive web interface gets a zip file
containing 2 files different from the original one
.some said OneNote cache contains notebooks copies, maybe, it contains
strange names files which are unusable : after deleting the notebook in
OneDrive (OneNote closed) they do not permit recovering the deleted
notebook.
Thanks for help, since I would like not to go back to Evernote.

All my notebooks are on OneDrive and the backup function copies all of them to a folder I have selected on my hard drive. I can then open them up in OneNote as local files and recover whatever I like. This is so much better than Evernote. Are you using 'Save & Backup' on the OneNote Options screen? This works for me.

Hi,

Uninstalled whole thing, cleaned Appdata (OneDrive,Office) and registry =
=

(OneDrive). Reinstalled with same results but
looking at Options/save and backup I saw a small box 'Backup notebooks =

from sharepoint' unticked.
Then I remembered sharepoint is now OneDrive and so clicked on the box :=
=

it works !

Thanks

Hi Therese,

You cannot use OneNote 2016 in your local drive. it only syncs with OneDrive. If you want to keep files locally, you may have to find OneNote 2013 version.
