backups for notebooks
Please see https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneNote/Backup-for-OneNote-App-for-Windows-10/m-p/788816 for a discussion of several more backup workarounds.
There is also a way to export OneNote notebooks on the consumer side if you store notebooks using your Microsoft Account. Please see https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/export-and-import-onenote-notebooks-a4b60da5-8f33-464e-b1ba-b95ce540f309 for instructions.
But, as you say, the backup problem still exists. The above are bandaids not solutions.
There are several uservoice entries asking to add backups to the OneNote App for Windows 10. I posted a comment to the forum moderator to consolidate these so the votes are added up cumulatively, and so the developers have a consolidated view of all of our requirements.
If you want MSFT to add a backup feature to OneNote App for Windows 10, please add your voice to https://onenote.uservoice.com/forums/327186-onenote-for-windows/suggestions/34349206-backup-option-for-win10-uwp-app#comments

JayFMSTechComm thanks for that, I've gone ahead and voted-but I have seen other areas where there are similar discussions as well, so I agree, they should all be consolidated.
