Universal My entire life is in iOS Notes - how to copy to another platform?

[TheInspectorGadget]

I am paranoid that one day I'll open my Notes app and everything I've ever written will be gone from a system bug or deletion.
My entire brain dump for the last 10 years. How can I copy everything over to another platform as a backup? Alternatively export everything into files and backup on a external hard drive.
I have 850 notes

Thanks for your help

Haven't used Evernote or Google Keep?

Notes will sync with Gmail, Outlook, and/or just about any other email account that supports IMAP. If you add the account under internet accounts in System Settings, you will see a folder for it in your Notes app. New/Existing notes do not automatically get copied there though, its a manual process and not a sync. You'll need to hold option while dragging a note from your iCloud account to the new folder to create a copy of the note in your email account.

The notes you copy will be synced to a Notes folder (Label if you use Google) in your email account and you will be able to open them there like a message without need of the Notes app if you ever need to.

You're a genius. It did it automatically. I backed up 50 notes in my Microsoft outlook account, will do the rest later.
Only issue is it doesn't include any images or attachments thats fine, I can live.
Thank you!
