Hello, I would like to apply the genius idea of this backup script:

Best method to backup notes

Best way, if you can, is to use the command line tool along with the export command and export at a regular intervals from a cron script. Even better if you can version this in a Git repository. This is the cron script I use for backup: #!/bin/bash # 0 0 10,15/12 * * /home/laurent/scripts/joplin_bak.sh >> /var/log/joplin_bak.log 2>&1 BACKUP_DIR="/path/to/backup_dir" JOPLIN_BIN="$HOME/.npm-global/bin/joplin" $JOPLIN_BIN sync $JOPLIN_BIN e2ee decrypt cd "$BACKUP_DIR" rm -f *.md rm -f resourc…

There are two directories where my notes are stored:
(1) $HOME/.config/joplin
(2) $HOME/.config/joplin-desktop

All my notes are stored in (2).
(1) is just automatically created and is useless for me.

Here is the Problem which I could not solve or find online or in the "joplin help all" page:

The command:

joplin export --format raw $HOME/Desktop/jExport/

exports only (1), but I need (2).

I would like to run the script in the background.
So that (2) is being exported.

You should be able to do that with --profile.

Your command would end up looking something like:

joplin ---profile $HOME/.config/joplin-desktop export --format raw $HOME/Desktop/jExport/

To be clear, this is an undocumented and (I believe) still unsupported flag, but it seems to be fairly well known.
