Unfortunately they aren't saved for eternity. If you untag the last tag, rhen it is gone forever... you can't imagine this approach.

Yes. IIRC there is no central tag database file, which could be edited and backed up? Not sure.

Each notebook's .content file has a section "pageTags" and I think (?) the software collects them from all notebooks?

Here is a tool that does just that to create a list of all tags and where they are used: https://github.com/rwilcox/remarkable_tags_index

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I would like to have a “script” that allows me to perform a full “data only” backup just in case I over write something. Thinking my command line RCU will do the trick.

Good idea to use a scripted RCU to do a backup. Not sure its CLI allows it, though? You can do a backup from the UI by selecting all (ctrl-A) and click the download button.

You could also do a full backup with rsync, basically just

rsync -rtb --delete -v rm:/home/root/.local/share/remarkable/xochitl

I used this in a script, which I start whenever I made a significant change on the rM: https://github.com/RedTartan04/rMbackup

My backup directory is also a local git repo, so I can keep versions.

Use the search function for other backup solutions.
