A personal copy of EndNote can be purchased from Adept Scientific. You can get a discount if you are registered with an educational institution.

When creating a backup of your library, make sure to copy both the .enl file (which is your library) and the .data folder (which contains your library structure and associated files).

To do this, copy and paste the .enl file and .data folder to your desired location, e.g. your H:\ drive or a USB key.

You can also use the Save a Copy command from the File menu in EndNote to create a backup copy of your library. This will create a copy of the .enl file and the .data folder in a selected location.

You can save your backup copy as a compressed library. Details are available on the EndNote website.
