Backup for OneNote App for Windows 10
We really need a backup feature in OneNote App for Windows 10, similar to the one found in OneNote for Office 2016, including number of backups to keep, where to keep them, and how frequently to chec...
JayFMSTechComm had a thought earlier - to help automate backing up, you could use Flow to automatically take a copy of the notebook at set intervals and rename it to the current time and date. I've done a super rough-and-ready test.
At the moment the rule points at a OneNote book, creates a copy in the exact folder and renames it with the last part using the following logic to add in the timestamp:
formatDateTime(utcNow(),'MM_dd hhmm tt')
For my test I've set it to 10 minutes to make sure it runs, but you can change the interval to whatever is most appropriate to you.
It's super-simple at the moment, but I'm sure with a bit of working out you can get it so all notebooks are backup up automatically. This would take a lot of the manual work out the process I detailed earlier.
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
