Hello all,
I really like and prefer using my iPad and iPhone over my MacBook, but there is one final thing why I can't get rid of macOS: backups. It's been playing on my mind for months how to solve the issue, maybe one of you has an answer or an idea?
All my data in iCloud, and use Apple Software. I realise that some may see iCloud as a backup, but I would like to have the data somewhere else as well separately. I am starting my own business, and would hate if important data went missing because of an issue with iCloud, even if the chance it happening is tiny.
I can back up contacts, calendars, photos, files and reminders manually or via some shortcuts I set up. That leaves me with Notes - for the life of me I can't figure out a way of backing them up on iPadOS, apart having to go through each note and saving it manually as a PDF. What I've tried so far:

- selecting all notes in Notes app, and dragging them to "on my iPad" location in Files. It only copies 10-13 notes over, although I have selected a few dozen.
- Writing a shortcut to grab all Notes, making a .zip archive, and saving them to Files. Always comes up with the error message "Couldn't communicate with a helper application." if I try and get more than about 7 notes. I have about 150 notes I would like to backup.
