Google Chrome Backup for Safekeeping User Settings

Both in Windows and under Linux, Google Chrome (or its open source clone, Chromium) can also serve as default browser, containing a user environment consisting of favorites, bookmarks, cookies, passwords etc. A user may have a need to keep a copy of this environment.

• Why to use Google Chrome backup bookmarks? The bookmarks are list of favorite websites marked by Chrome. Therefore, you may feel a need for Chrome favorites backup, to keep intact your collection of bookmarks, for example, when migrating to other computer.
• When allow Google Chrome backup deleted history? You can clear a history or wipe some website out of it just by mistake, or rethink about clearing these pages out of memory. Backing up a history allows you restoring a list of all the websites visited.
• Where to force Google Chrome backup passwords and cookies? Chrome often stores passwords for websites where you registered. When you are migrating or renewing your system, it is a nuisance to restore these passwords manually, so just backup cookies!
• Other Chrome settings backup. You can also save different other settings, such as extensions, created or modified as a part of a personalized user environment. Restore these settings when you need it, to upgrade your bare fresh Google Chrome to a comfortable personal workspace.

Google Chrome backup with Handy Backup is simple. Just save a subfolder located in a current user data folder and containing all Google Chrome data.

• For Windows, you can find this folder by a path:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data

The "%username%" here is a name of a current user, as well as a name of a folder of this user.

• For Linux, the path will be:

~/.config/google-chrome/Default

Note that for Chromium, a clone of Google Chrome, you can select the appropriate name by substituting a phrase containing "Google Chrome" to a word "chromium" in the file path.

Use the "Computer" plug-in to backup Google Chrome data, in a junction with any storage plug-in (as an example, you can backup Chrome bookmarks to Google Drive). For detailed instructions about creating and managing a backup task, please see the User Manual.
