Copy the file plum.sqlite file to a USB thumb drive or another backup source.
Connect the USB drive to the other device where you want to restore them, open the same Sticky Notes folder, then copy and paste the plum.sqlite file into the same folder. Click Replace the file in the destination when prompted.
