Maybe you can take lots of screenshots and OCR those bad boys...
That seems to be out MS O365 works these days.

Found a download option. It downloads the stuff for us. And then when you open your fresh backup this is all that is in there...
This file cannot be downloaded
A huge FU from O365.

This is the reason their revs are higher than ever despite the fact fewer people use their stuff than ever before. Never ending vendor lock in. They wont even let you export your own data--allegedly
-
Yeah well, the exporting it didn't work. So I tried exporting to PDF well yes you can do that, but not the whole notebook, page by page. And before you do that you have to format each page to fit on a page or the formatting is horrible.

Basically the fat client works the same as the web one, then.

Yup, this is the nail in the coffin. No way would we stay with O365 now.

Even I who am MS certified etc. Am not staying with O365. When we chose this path we tested the migration off of it etc. (always do that for everything). This is unacceptable

And that's on top of it not being all that great of a product. We've not been very happy with it. The only real positive has been the account integration.

Out of curiosity, what are you migrating to?

A wiki (no idea which flavor that's a Scott thing).

wiki.js

So MUCH better.

Compared to SP? Yes.
But wiki.js has limitations that hurt normal users.

It's for IT, though. That's all SP was for as well.

Do you have it setup to use a Git repo for backups?

Are going to do, but have not yet. It had all kinds of errors trying to get it set up.

Really? That bit worked perfectly for me when I tested it. Using a Bitbucket private repo.

Only tried GitLab and couldn’t get it to work.

I was able to make it work with GitLab (self-hosted) using access tokens.

I went through this a month or two ago, if you're talking about the PC app.
When I was logged in, o couldn't for the life of me find my main OneNote file anywhere in the sync locations, which is what it shoves down your throat. But I found an option to browse locally, as well as synchronizing that file too.
I'm not at a PC now, but it's there any way you need it.
