Virus attacks, drive corruption, physical damage \u2013 many factors can put your data at risk at any given time. Take the following precautions so you never lose your notes again:<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><b>Make PDF copies.<br \/>\r\n<\/b>Make non-sync PDF copies of your notes that you can then save to another location (or upload them to iCloud). On the Apple menu bar in the Notes app, click File &gt; Export as PDF&#8230;<b><br \/>\r\n<\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>Backup your notes.<br \/>\r\n<\/b>Enable both Time Machine and iCloud for your Notes app so your notes automatically get saved in the background, and so you always have access to their past versions.<b><br \/>\r\n<\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li><b><b>Don&#8217;t update immediately.<br \/>\r\n<\/b><\/b>Updating macOS (especially as an early adopter) can put your files at risk of disappearing or rearrangement if you don\u2019t back them up first. This is especially true when first updating to High Sierra and later macOS releases, which makes the jump from HFS\/HFS+ file system to APFS.<br \/>\r\nAll you need to know is that HFS\/HFS+ Time Machine backups aren\u2019t recognized by computers running APFS. So before deciding to update, make sure you backup your notes via iCloud and\/or make PDF copies and save them to a separate location.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>Monitor your hard drive&#8217;s S.M.A.R.T.<\/b><br \/>\r\nS.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a built-in feature in hard drives that tries to predict potential drive failure. Some data recovery and management tools offer a feature where you can look at your S.M.A.R.T. status. This allows you to backup and repair your drive before anything bad happens. Disk Drill offers this feature for free on their app, so this is something you can do right now.<b><br \/>\r\n<\/b><\/li>\r\n\t<li><b>Only download software from trusted sources.<br \/>\r\n<\/b>Viruses are one of the worst culprits when it comes to data loss. They can corrupt your drives (or individual files), rearrange your data, or straight up delete the contents of your computer. Some viruses can even hold your data hostage until you pay up. Avoid sketchy sites and downloads, and stick to reputable sources.<b><br \/>\r\n<\/b><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>The Notes app is one of our favorite note-taking apps thanks to its powerful sync features and the ability to quickly pick up where you left off on any device.
