Backup Google Chrome Data
Google Chrome had its launch a couple of days ago and through the hearts of millions but why some still dont prefer Google Chrome is just because Chrome does not have backing up feature of the user profiles, bookmarks and other information. But Google is not ready to compromise to leave its users to Firefox just because of the lack of the back up facility and is up with a Google Chrome Backup. Google Chrome Backup does backs up all your personalized browser data in just a click.
And thats not all in to backing up and restoring your profiles, Chrome Backup also allows you to easily create new profiles without the need to edit or create profiles, all this works as the same as Firefox Profile Manager. So lets see how to use the Google Chrome Backup Feature.
1. Backup and Restore Wizard
With this latest addition, you can easly create backup in more organized manner. Users who might have problems with the tool, can use Wizard.
2. Chrome and Chromium support
You need Google Chrome installed in order for this tool to work. It supports 0.2.149.27 version of Google Chrome or Chromium, but also newer builds. To use chromium please select a path within the Google Chrome Backup.
3. Backup a profile
To backup current profile click on the profile, select "Backup Profile" and select a backup path. A new file which holds your profile is created. In latest version you can also protect backup file with a password and also set a compression rate (this might slow down the process but the file will be smaller), we recommend you to use LOW compression setting, because it's a good ratio between speed of the process and size of the backup file.
4. Restore a profile
To restore the old profile, click on the profile, select "Restore Profile" and navigate to *.gcb file you want to restore. Selected profile will be deleted and restored from the backup file. The program detects if a password is needed to recover backup file.
5. Create a new profile
To create new Google Chrome or Chromium profile click on the "New Profile". You can specify different switches to bind them to this new profile. Run those profiles directly from Google Chrome or Chromium or create a shortcut on your desktop.
