Backing up OneNote manually
camotto 11/7/2008 11:34:01 PM
Hi,

I have OneNote set up to backup to this folder automatically:

C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneNote\12.0\backup

But I also want do do a MANUAL backup to my external harddrive.

Do I need to make a copy of this backup folder or of the
C:\Users\myusername\documents\one note notebooks (the default notebooks
location)?

More than likely, you will want the files in
C:\Users\myusername\documents\one note notebooks. These are more up to date
than the ones in the backup folder.
The files in the backup folder will be older, with the time interval between
backups being set in Tools | Options | Backup.

Of course, depending on your backup utility and storage capability, it may
be just as easy to back up both. This would create even more redundancy,
which may or may not be desired.
