Once here, open up the Microsoft folder and locate the Sticky Notes folder. And this is the basic sticky notes location, where all of the data is saved. Double click on the folder to open it and there you can find the .snt file which is used by the application.
Now simply click on the control key on your keyboard, click and drag the file on your desktop. This will make a copy of the file on your desktop.
And that’s it for how to backup sticky notes. A backup has been created for the sticky notes on your desktop.
