MicrosoftSomeone told me about this today, and I switched to OneNote for Windows 10 immediately after reading this article, both at work and at home. I keep all of my content in the cloud anyway, and I welcome the decision to focus the development resources on one desktop client. In addition to that, to be completely honest, I was not too impressed with the speed and reliability of OneNote 2016 in terms of syncing, so I look forward to a better experience in the new client.
What I would like to understand though is how I can create a local backup of my notes in the same way I create backups of my Microsoft Office files by robocopying them from my OneDrive folder to a local harddrive. The only purpose of those files is to add an extra layer of security.
With OneNote 2016, I would export my notebooks to the ONEPKG format (as a container for the .one files) and to PDF and include those in the backup. Alternatively, I downloaded the folder that contains the link to the notebook from the onedrive.live.com, which would at least give me access to the .one files.
What should be my strategy now? I could of course continue to use the download method, but I would only do that if there was longterm support for the .one format. An export option to PDF or HTML would be a great thing to have.
Thanks
Hendrik
