Copying the browser as a working tool for the user

Below are typical tasks for which it is convenient to automatically create a backup copy of the browser.

• Copying browser bookmarks. Bookmarks are the main browser configuration element that creates a personal working environment for a specific user. Browser backup allows you to copy bookmarks to a new location or easily restore them.
• Copying browser history. History is the second most important element of working with the browser, providing comfortable access to recently visited sites. Save history when copying the browser and retrieve it when you need it.
• Copy passwords andcookies. Passwords and cookies (cookies) are sensitive (potentially dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands) data, and we recommend that you be careful about their backup. Handy Backup allows you to copy cookies.

At reinstalling Windows There are a number of issues that make me not want to do this. In particular, there is a fear that all the saved data of your favorite browser will be lost, namely, favorite bookmarks, autofill history and settings search engines. In general, everything that we are so accustomed to in our "good old". From this article you will learn how you can easily save all this data, and then restore it on a new system.

In order to save browser data, we use free program favbackup.
At the moment, the utility has support for browsers: Internet Explorer 6/7/8, Firefox 2-3.6, Opera 9-10.6, Safari 3/4, Google Chrome 1-6 and Flock 2.0/2.5.
Works in 32/64-bit Windows versions XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
There are 3 color schemes.

In order to download a free program to save almost all data from the browser FavBackup, follow the link to and scroll down the page to this point:

here by choice - either the program itself, or (in the archive, the size is naturally smaller).

The program does not require installation, therefore, immediately after starting the .exe file, the main program window will appear:

In order to create a selective backup of the browser, on the tab Backup click on its icon in the upper left:

Choose what you need to save (in the example above, I want to save cookies, bookmarks, history, sessions and settings in the IE browser) and press the button Next(If you don't want to look for where everything was saved later, then in the "Backup location" field, specify your path. Although the program will warn you about this).

Then click Finish and the program will close. The data is saved in a file with .dat in the folder you specified.

For browser data recovery select tab restore, select the browser, select the data you want to restore, specify the path to the backup file in the "Backup location" and click Next .
Please note that the fields "Profile" and "Restore to the following profile" indicate the found profile for restoration and the choice of profile to which to save.

And this can be done with any of the presented browsers. Of course, they must be installed in the system.

By the way, because I don't have google chrome (and i have written many times why i don't like it) and i use much better alternatives for it, then i couldn't save my data. On the one hand, this may be bad, but on the other hand, I am more than satisfied and consider this another plus in favor of my favorite Iron and Comodo Dragon.
This is about the fact that whoever has browsers based on Chromium will not be able to save.

The tab works the same way. Full Restore- recovers completely the data.

Interesting tab Convert, which will allow you to convert a file with data from one operating system to another, well, bit depth besides. This is only done for Opera because it is picky about it.

On the tab Preferences You can choose from 3 color schemes.

In the last tab Help contains information about the program, updates, a letter to the developers, visit the web site and donate money.

By the way, based on the fact that the program does not require installation and is portable, you can fool around with it how to do it - I think you can guess for yourself. A couple of clicks and someone else's information from your browser

Very often, for example, after reinstalling the browser or in the process of switching to another browser, you need to restore all previously saved bookmarks (links to sites). This, of course, can be done manually - well, it's very laborious to type addresses and save them. Optimal in this case import bookmarks and export bookmarks, i.e. create URL backup copies automatically and use them.

Export

Exporting bookmarks from the Yandex browser, or reserving them, can be done in two ways. Follow this procedure regularly if you save a lot of links, so as not to lose anything important. It's better to have several recent backups than one from three months ago.

Method number 1: saving to a file

1. Open the menu bar. Select "Settings".

2. Go to the "Bookmarks" subsection.

3. On the right side of the Dispatcher page, click the Organize option. In the drop-down list, run the "Export ..." command (the last one in the list).

4. In the system window, specify the folder where you want to place the file with a copy of the bookmarks. By default, it is named "bookmarks_", but you can specify your own name. Then click Save.

Double click on the file icon and a list of URLs sorted by directories (as you placed them) will open in a tab.

Any bookmark is opened with a mouse click. From the same backup file you can also import the URL, if the question suddenly arises, how to reinstall bookmarks in the Yandex browser after deleting it and reinstalling it.

Method number 2: synchronization

This method is more advanced. Since it implies the remote storage of links and other important user data and their transfer to the browser on other devices (and not just on the home PC). But to implement it, you will need an account in the Yandex system (or credentials mailbox on Yandex). In the absence of it, you must register it (link to the form on the search engine page).

1. Through the browser menu, go to the "Settings" section. At the top of the tab, click the "Customize..." button.

3. Click in the "Enable ..." panel.

To fine-tune synchronization in the next window, click "Change ...".

Uncheck the boxes next to items that you do not need to back up, such as passwords (that is, unchecked data types are not saved).

When done, click "Close Window".

The process of loading bookmarks through the "Synchronization" option is carried out in a similar way. You need to activate the option again and go through authorization in your Yandex profile.

Import

Importing bookmarks can also be done in two ways. Each of them is good in its own way, depending on the specific user task. Let's consider their implementation step by step.

Method #1: File Upload

Making a copy

So, in order to transfer bookmarks from another browser, you must first save them to a file in this very browser. This procedure is based on the export principle (see the previous instruction).

Below are the backup guides for popular browsers:

Google Chrome
1. From the Chrome menu, open: Menu → Bookmark Manager.

2. In the panel, click "Management" and activate "Export ..." in the list.

Firefox
1. Click on the "Bookmarks" section in the menu.

2. In the panel, click "Show all ..." (first item).

3. In the Library, click the mouse to open the "Import ..." list and click the "Export ... to HTML file" item.

4. Specify the path to save the file.

Opera
In Opera, reservations are best done using the special Bookmarks Import & Export addon. It can be downloaded from the official app store for the browser.

Once the installation is complete, click on its icon. On the page that opens, click "Export".

Bookmarks are backed up to your downloads folder. This directory is set in the Opera main settings panel, in the Downloads block.

To view the contents of the file (make sure that all bookmarks have been successfully saved), click the "folder" icon in the additional window that appears after the import procedure is completed.

Restoring from a copy

Now that you have an HTML file with a copy, you can safely start transferring bookmarks:

1. In the menu, click: Bookmarks → Import bookmarks.

2. In the "Transfer ..." panel, in the drop-down list, set the "HTML file with bookmarks". Click "Transfer".

This method uses the same option as Method #1, but with a different add-on.

1. Open: Bookmarks → Import bookmarks.

2. In the "From" list, select the browser from which you want to transfer bookmarks.

3. In the list of items, be sure to check the box next to Favorites and Bookmarks.

Attention! Other available data can be transferred in the same way. To do this, also mark them in the list.

4. Click Transfer.

5. Click "Finish" after importing.

Do not forget to use the folder display setting on the external panel for quick access. By default, the folder name will be in the format Bookmarks.

Save bookmarks in a file, store it on a PC, flash drive, in remote storage, synchronize them in your Yandex profile. Over time, your collection of bookmarks can have dozens or even hundreds of links, and you need to make sure that they are not lost. You can learn how to add, delete, view bookmarks in Yandex browser.
