You are using very outdated version of evernote-backup, please update to the latest version and try again.

[barry27-dot]

thanks for the fast response. i feel like an idiot - i downloaded and installed the new version somehow I still get the 1.9.3 version number - the old version is still there. how do I get the mac to point to/run the new version instead?

Try uninstalling all versions of evernote-backup and then installing it again

brew list --versions evernote-backup
brew uninstall evernote-backup@<version>
brew install evernote-backup

Hello - I wanted to touch base with you on a few things related to evernote-back. Let me know if you would prefer i do so by github rather than direct by email as these are new topics: 1) I get for 5 notes a repeated message "failed to download note....after 5 attempts". It appears by manual search in evernote that these notes no longer exist, but the same 5 notes keep coming up 2) I have a lot of notes - 37000 or so (10+ years of EN use). I have been re-organizing my notes and notebooks. Recently even when there are only 200 or so sync updates evernote gives me the very friendly "Rate Limit Reached - restart program in xx minutes. I assume this is evernote delivering poor service (and I am a paying customer). I get around this by re-running but it did not used to happen even with much bigger loads. 3) I would like for my own use to extract all the ENEX to single-page html. I can use you tool as-is to export the ENEX, but wondering if you have any advice on extracting the BLOB from (your) SQLLITE database directly this would allow me to be more selective in my export to files. would it be sufficient to expand with lzma or will I need to do more processing? I would like to end up with colulmns containing the enex and single-page html as well as extracting additional saved metadata. eventually I want to get away from the Evernote client all together Best regards and thanks again for a great product. Barry

1. I get for 5 notes a repeated message "failed to download note....after 5 attempts". It appears by manual search in evernote that these notes no longer exist, but the same 5 notes keep coming up

It means that those notes (or their metadata at least) are still registered somewhere on the Evernote server. They are received during the sync but not available for download. This is a very rare edge case, I can add flag that will ask if you want to skip them in future if they fail to download.

I get around this by re-running but it did not used to happen even with much bigger loads.

Yes, seems like Evernote lowered the limit for the API. I believe they are in process of retiring their old API that evernote-backup is using, but they are yet to release any docs or SDK for the new API.

would it be sufficient to expand with lzma or will I need to do more processing?

It will be easier for you to just parse the exported ENEX and extract the <content> body and other metadata stuff or resources you want. evernote-backup stores notes in binary format (thrift data structure) as they come from Evernote API server. There is a --add-metadata flag for export operation that embeds additional meta into the enex if you need it.
