Sr_Sabina- I don't have a mac so cant answer but you should have a "Help" tab at the top of OneNote. Select it and use the "help" search box for back up. Might find the answer there.

Unfortunately it isn't under the "help" tab either.
- PNCTCMSJan 01, 2020Copper ContributorThis "may" help... I Windows we click on File - Options - Save & Backup. Then choose ways to configure Saving and Backing-up

Thank you for your suggestion. However, as I posted previously in a screenshot, there is no "File - Options - Save & Backup" on a Mac. I include the screenshot again to show you what I'm seeing on my Macbook Pro.
I'm open to any other suggestions as to why there should be this option in Windows and not on a Mac.
Thanking you,
Sabina
- PNCTCMSJan 05, 2020Copper ContributorOK, I get your problem. I am not a Mac user or anything Apple but I may have a suggestion or a "workaround" which depends on how game you are to try "out of the box" ideas and your skill level. OneNote files are stored on Microsoft's OneDrive so I assume you have a Microsoft Account and access to OneDrive through a browser? Please confirm that A/ you have access to OneDrive and can see the x.one files that OneNote generates. B/ you're willing to try or go "outside the box". I don't want to waste time for either of us.
