FavBackup - Easy Browser Backup

Simplify Browser Backups with FavBackup

Do you find yourself managing numerous programs to back up settings and profiles for different web browsers? Now, a streamlined solution is available. FavBackup simplifies the backup and restoration process for multiple browsers with a single application.

Supported Browsers

FavBackup offers compatibility with a range of browsers, including: Internet Explorer (versions 6-8), Mozilla Firefox (versions 2-3.5), Opera (version 9), Safari (versions 3-4), and Google Chrome (versions 1-3).

Installation & Setup

A key benefit of FavBackup is its portability; no installation is necessary. Simply place the executable file in your desired location and create a shortcut for easy access.

For instance, the executable can be placed within a folder named “FavBackup” inside Program Files. Remember to create a dedicated folder to store the backup files, as they are saved as individual files.

Backing Up a Browser Profile

Initiating a browser backup involves a three-step process. First, select the appropriate “Backup” option and choose the browser you wish to back up. A “Convert” option is also available.

Click “Next” to proceed. As an example, a Google Chrome backup was performed on Vista SP2, with backup files saved to a “Chrome” folder on the Desktop.

In the subsequent window, you can selectively choose which items to include in the backup. Browse to the Backup Folder you previously created and click "Next". By default, all items are pre-selected.

The final window displays green checkmarks next to items that were successfully backed up. Click "Finish" to complete the process.
