Rather than continue to build out Revert, a product with a name that no longer represented where we were heading, we have re-branded the product as ThisData: However, it is not because there is no need for our backup/restore service, in fact far from it! It is because the need for more than just backup/restore was what was coming through loud and clear from our customers, and potential customers. Yes, Revert is closing down on 31st October 2015. That's the way I do it anyway as part of my system backups, and occasionally if I'm playing around I'll copy the folder to the desktop for insurance.Īnd I haven't had any emails from Revert either, apart from an activity summary.
I'm not sure how much of a problem doing an export without fully exiting Evernote might be, but it seems like a really good idea to do so - but us Windows users have the option of just copying the Databases folder, which is a snapshot of the account(s) you own at the date and time of the backup.
But anything is better than full data loss, so it seems like a reasonable option. The only major hassle is the new GUID which breaks all links (and shares) if you have them.
I always put relevant dates in my note titles anyway.

The competition between the two products is the sort of noble rivalry that makes both better and results in better products and choices for businesses and consumers.Įvernote has built an entire ecosystem, and it is almost a culture unto itself. When I compared them head-to-head earlier this year, it was a very close race, but Evernote edged out OneNote to take the crown.Ī few months later, Evernote raised the bar again with new features, and Microsoft has responded with updates to OneNote. They continue to challenge and leapfrog each other, and I find myself switching back and forth on occasion. We’re talking about a single product versus a complete suite of products and services that also happens to include a similar single product.īoth Evernote and OneNote are exceptionally capable note-taking apps. It’s not a purely apples to apples comparison.
