Where Does MyBase Store Notebooks?
MyBase stores each database as a .nyf file wherever you save it, with attachments inside the file.
Last updated
MyBase keeps each notebook as a single .nyf database file wherever you chose to save it. Notes, attachments, and tags all travel inside that one file, so there is no library folder to hunt down.
Migration is copying files. Back them up like any document, and open them on the new machine with the app installed. Password protected databases need their passwords after moving, and large attachment heavy files benefit from the app's own backup copies kept beside the original.
Where MyBase stores this, by platform
<your chosen folder>\<notebook>.nyf
Notebook files live wherever you saved them, not in a fixed app folder. Copy .nyf files to back up or migrate. Keep the app's automatic backup copies that sit beside originals for recent accident recovery.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up MyBase?
Copy your .nyf files somewhere safe. That is the whole database including attachments. Add the automatic backup copies beside them for version depth. No export step is needed since the working file is already portable.
How do I move MyBase to a new computer?
Install MyBase, copy the .nyf files over, and double click to open. Everything travels inside each file. Re-enter passwords for encrypted databases on first open.
