Source: https://nlmexporter.com/guides/questions/how-to-back-up-notebooklm Section: Questions Last verified: November 2026 Plan: Free + Pro NotebookLM has no backup or full export, so the only copy of your notes, chats and Studio outputs is in your Google account. To make your own copy, open the notebook with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter installed and click the archive button at the top of the Studio panel. It saves an indexed ZIP. One full archive is free. ## Steps 1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab. 2. Open the notebook. 3. Click the archive button at the top of the Studio panel. 4. Choose what to include and download the ZIP. ## What to know - The archive contains notes, reports, chat history with cited sources, Studio items and source text. - Pro adds unlimited archives, several notebooks at once, and incremental sync to a local folder. - Keep archives somewhere other than the same Google account. > Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today. ## Frequently asked questions ### How often should I back up?

You can share it with the other account, which leaves the original owner in control, or rebuild it there. To rebuild, archive the notebook with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter, switch accounts, and use Restore archive (Pro) to create a new notebook from the ZIP. ## Steps 1. Install [NotebookLM Ultra Exporter](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/notebooklm-ultra-exporter/afchokljnhhggkhedfbmkcmdagjmjchj) in desktop Chrome, then refresh any open NotebookLM (Gemini Notebook) tab. 2.

Open the import center, choose restore archive, select the ZIP and confirm. ## What to know - Restore re-adds sources from their links or archived text and restores notes. - Reports, chats and Studio text come back as text sources, not as native Studio items. - Audio, video and slide images are not recreated. > Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is sharing enough? If the old account will stay active, yes.

With NotebookLM Ultra Exporter you archive notebooks one at a time for a single free archive, or with Pro select several notebooks in the workspace and archive them together. Each notebook becomes its own indexed ZIP or synced folder. ## What to know - Archiving several notebooks at once requires Pro. - Media files make archives large; leave them out if you only need text. - Run it again later: folder sync writes only what changed. > Google changes these menus often. The item's own menu in your notebook shows what is built in today. ## Frequently asked questions ### How long does a full export take? It depends on the number of items, since each note, chat and Studio output is read from NotebookLM.

Two workarounds exist with NotebookLM Ultra Exporter: save the notebook as a template to start new notebooks with the same sources and setup, or archive it and restore the ZIP as a new notebook with Pro. ## What to know - A template copies the setup and packaged sources, not chat history. - Restore copies sources and notes; Studio items return as text. - A copy is independent: later changes do not sync between the two. > Google changes these menus often.
