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.

Doesn't fix it, I've changed the folder 5 times and created new, empty ones. :(

But have you removed any short-cut in the backup?

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.

To work around this behavior, remove the folder shortcut from your Backup folder.

To determine the path for your Backup folder, follow these steps:
  1. Start OneNote 2003.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  3. In the Options dialog box, click Open and Save in the Category list.
  4. In the Paths box, note the path for the Backup folder that is in the Open and Save area of the Options dialog box.
  5. In Microsoft Windows Explorer, move or delete the folder shortcut that is contained in your Backup folder.
Point numbers 1 to 4, I believe, are merely a method to establish the location.

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

I have to admit that I am running out of ideas. :confused:

You could try doing a repair (I know it says Access, but it covers all Office programs):
Repair or remove Office 2010 - Access - Microsoft Office
.
.

Repair your Office 2010 programs

Repair your Office 2010 programs by doing the following:

  1. Click Start, then click Control Panel.
  2. Click Programs and Features.
  3. Click the Office 2010 program that you want to repair, then click Change.
  4. Click Repair, then click Continue. You might need to restart your computer after the repair is complete.

Now it's saying "OneNote cannot find the file you specified"

Perhaps if you modify the save locations back to their original state?

The following illustration shows my OneNote save paths which have not been changed at all - naturally, you will need to change the "Irene's Win7" to whatever your own was.
