Backup of Notes from the Notes Application

Thanks. This is what they say. It's ridiculously time consuming. So does anyone know another way, or if the Notes are backed up on Time Machine.

Notes

To copy notes, open the Notes app at iCloud.com. Copy the text of each note and paste it into a document on your computer, such as a Pages or TextEdit document. Save the document to your computer.

thanks! that worked. it's reassuring to know that notes are saved in my time machine and can be restored. I do a lot of writing in the notes app, and someone told me some of the stuff that syncs through iCloud is not included in time machine backups, even though I see it on my computer. Do you know if this is true for other things besides notes? Or was the person just wrong entirely?

Thanks again!

p.s. I wish I had known this when I accidentally deleted a story I was writing in the notes app, and was told by apple support there was no way to retrieve it.

Hi Eric,

In time machine, I don't have "go" (the top menu doesn't show). Can I access this from time machine or do I need to copy it manually on another hard drive or disc?

thanks!

Hi Eric,

Probably a newbie question, but I haven't used Terminal before, so just want to check, do I just type in the command and press enter?

Thank you very much.
