What issue do you have?

When I back up notes, I've noticed that images that are embedded in the notes are not also backed up, making those backups almost useless (missing graphs and such) without manually copying and pasting the images. Is there an easier way to back up articles with the images?

@Catalyst5755 welcome to the forum.

If you have used the Backup Plugin all your notes will have been backed up into a file called all_notebooks.jex. A JEX file is in fact a TAR file, a way of archiving many files into one. That JEX file contains a folder called "resources" and all the attachments are in there.

So if you ever need to restore a backup it will have all the notes and the attached files / images etc.
