For example: GoodNotes/backup… ( Don't use "/" at the end of the path.) If you want to back up to a subfolder of a folder, type in the path and separate the folders and subfolders using a slash (“/”).
If no folder with that name exists yet, GoodNotes will create one. If you want to backup to a different folder, just type in the name of the folder into the field in the auto-backup settings.
You can see the auto-backup status by tapping the small icon under the "Documents" heading.īy default, the destination folder of the backup will be called “GoodNotes”.
After that, only changed documents get backed up. Once you've enabled the feature for the first time, please keep the app visible on the screen until auto-backup finishes uploading your entire library.
Change other auto-backup settings if needed, and tap Done. Choose a cloud storage and sign in to it. Tap the ⚙️ icon in the top-right corner of the Library view > Settings > Automatic Backup, and enable Auto Backup. Update the remote copy of the document/folder Change the content or template of a page. Upload the document, folder, or recovered item to the cloud storage Changes you make in the cloud storage won't affect your GoodNotes library. How it worksĪuto-backup is a one-way process, and so it doesn't sync your changes across your devices as iCloud does. Auto-backup is best used with iCloud sync to protect your notes so that you can always find them in the auto-backup folder in case something destructive occurs to your local library. I'm open to suggestions that correct the above issue or suggestions on how to do this without using a temp folder.Automatically upload your documents to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive for safekeeping while you're working in GoodNotes. I can't seem to figure out what is going on between the temp folder through to the tar. However, when looking in the tar file, there will be multiple copies of test.txt For example if I backed up a file called test.txt then that file will be located in the temporary directory. However when I open the tar file it contains several duplicates of each file. The copying of everything into the temporary folder works correctly. Then I tar that folder (while excluding certain sub folders) and save it somewhere else. So basically what I'm doing is creating a temporary folder, then copying all the relevant stuff I want to backup into that folder. I have created the follow bash script to be used in cron for automatically backing up certain folders while also excluding certain sub folders: folders_to_backup=(īackup_temp="/home/myuser/temp_backup_folder/"įind $backup_temp | tar -czf "/home/myuser/backup.tgz" -T - exclude=*/venv -exclude=*/_pycache_
