I have been an iPhone user since the 3G days so my phone contains a lot of data that I have entered into Notes. When iCloud came along I enabled it and configured it to back up my Notes and Calendar. Things seemed to work just fine and my iCloud page showed that it was being updated every evening when it was connected to my charger.
Last week I accidentally deleted a line from one of my Notes files. It was a Shopping list and was probably one of the first notes I had created.
Before iCloud, I was using a PC for backup so I checked there first. When you enable iCloud, the PC backup is shut off.
My next try was going to www.icloud.com and checking my file there. To my surprise the file did not exist. Only 3 note files were being backed up. After looking at them, I realized that they were my latest ones and had been created since I had turned on iCloud.
Some research on the web verified my observation. Only newly created notes files are backed up on iCloud.
The only way to fix this issue was to copy each one to a new note. iCloud would then back up the files.
If you have note files that predate iCloud, you might want to check to see if they are being backed up.
If there is some other simple solution for this issue, I would like to hear about it as all of my family is currently depending on iCloud for their Notes backup.
