AllMyNotes keeps each notebook as a .ddb database file, defaulting to an AllMyNotes folder in Documents.
Last updated
AllMyNotes stores each notebook as a single .ddb database file, defaulting to an AllMyNotes folder inside Documents. Every note, attachment, and setting for that notebook travels inside the one file.
That makes backup obvious: copy the .ddb files. The app also writes automatic backups beside the originals on a schedule, so look for timestamped copies when something goes wrong. Move machines by copying the files and opening them with File, Open.
