OneNote Web Clipper for Edge no longer working on sites it used to do
Some personal conclusions:
1. What really matters is the size of each section and not the overall size of the notebook. As a remainder, a notebook is divided in sections and each section holds many pages. In my case, the problem was with the amount of pages/figures inside a given section. Creating a new section inside the very same notebook solved my problem with OneNote Web Clipper.
2. For backup, there is a way (now ?) to do that: OneNote Web Exporter / Importer:

Hi TrafGib,
Thanks for your attention.
Honestly, I was considering OneNote as a database-centric tool - something like a front-end to an Access database or MS SQL server. However much it handles BLOBs of unconstrainted, unformatted data, I never thought it should be a problem. At least to the amount of data I have. The division into sections was enough to me.
I must say that I was a MCP on Microsoft Access a long time ago. Perhaps my vision was biased. I shall reconsider that.
I will take into account your advise. I will divide my OneNote notebook like pizza i.e., into smaller slices. If you consider my experiment with a brand-new OneNote notebook I am quite sure it will solve my problem.
If you do not mind, I would like you to share (if you can!) some best practices on OneNote with me. And, if you know, some way to backup notebooks (either on OneDrive itself or even best to my hard disk). I have some documents there that I would like to keep. OneNote attachments is quite good but the link is quite weak - at least from my experience.
Thanks again!
