Notes in back up files
When backing up a Zotero directory, where are notes stored? And if you could find them, would there be any way to view them outside of Zotero (e.g. in Notepad or some other program)?
I'm a librarian working with a faculty member who has taken extensive notes on her sources in Zotero. I showed her how to back up the entire directory on external storage, but she is specifically concerned about the possibility of losing her notes so I want to be able to tell her what is and is not possible. Thank you!

adamsmiththe notes are stored as part of zotero.sqlite and no, there's no easy way (i.e. without an sqlite viewer or a script of some type) to view the notes without Zotero.
