Backup your Notability notes on your machine using webdav

Setup

  1. Prepare a folder where you want your backup to be.

  2. Install rclone for your system

  3. Run the webdav server using rclone

Make sure to use your local IP address and to use a username and password. Otherwise Notability will not connect to the server.

rclone serve webdav --addr 192.168.1.102:8080 --user user --pass pass /home/user/backup/ipad/
  1. Now, you can use your iOS device. Go to your Notability settings -> Auto-Backup -> WebDAV

Use the following values you set in the step before:

Address: http://192.168.1.102:8080
Username: user
Password: pass

After that you can set the other backup settings as you desire.
