I store a lot of important data in OneNote, was just wondering if there is a free online backup service to an online storage, or, if there was a scheduled event that I could make it so it backs up to my external hdd.
Thanks.
Open OneNote - File - Options - Save & Backup - check the 'Automatically backup my notebook at the following time interval.
Hope that helps. :)
Oo thanks, is there a way, though, to remove the (On <Date>) part? Because if I import them to OneNote, I have to go all through my notes and delete that.
Edit: Regardless of where I save it, if I press the button to back it up now, it says "OneNote has encountered a problem and cannot complete this operation". I have more than enough disk space to fit all the files also.
I found the following MS article which although it refers to OneNote 2003, may well be relevant in the 2010 version:
You receive the " ...cannot complete this operation" error message when you try to back up files in OneNote 2003
This behavior may occur when your Backup folder contains a shortcut to another folder
Doesn't fix it, I've changed the folder 5 times and created new, empty ones.
In the folder I set it to back up? No.
I understand it to mean that there might be a shortcut within the material which you are backing up.
Point numbers 1 to 4, I believe, are merely a method to establish the location.To work around this behavior, remove the folder shortcut from your Backup folder.
To determine the path for your Backup folder, follow these steps:
- Start OneNote 2003.
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- In the Options dialog box, click Open and Save in the Category list.
- In the Paths box, note the path for the Backup folder that is in the Open and Save area of the Options dialog box.
- In Microsoft Windows Explorer, move or delete the folder shortcut that is contained in your Backup folder.
I know how to find and change the location, but no matter what location it is, it doesn't work; I assume that this isn't the problem
