Recently I installed Windows 7 ultimate on my new hard disk drive including some browsers like chrome, Firefox and Opera. Everything works perfectly, as I am using different browsers I need to migrate all my Win XP browsers profile & data to Win 7. I tried some traditional way like copying browser apps data and all, but it didn’t work for me.After doing some research I found a handy tool called “FavBackup” ,which help you to backup all major browsers data like bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, preferences etc. in single file & you can restore it easily.FavBackup is a useful tool which not only save all your data but also restored it at one-click of a button.
FavBackup help you to survive your browser data from disaster situation like system crash, failure or virus.FavBackup supports the these browsers:
Mozilla Firefox,Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari & Flock
FavBackup is compatible with windows os like Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 systems, its a portable application so we don’t need to do any specific installation for it, just run its executable and perform your operations.FavBackup can do following operations:
- Backup / Full Backup:
To backup your data select your browser and then choose ‘Backup‘ option ,so that it will store your browser data into single file (.dat) Their are two types of backups “Backup” & ”Full Backup“. Backup only garb single profile data where as ‘Full backup’ grab all existing profile data.
- Restore/Full Restore:
When you are ready with your backup file & want to restore all your data then choose this options with appropriate browser(.Dat) file. Remember, backup of ’Chrome’ only restore into another ‘chrome’ browser, it doesn’t not support direct cross compatibility
- Convert:
This is another handy option limited for Opera browser only, if you have any browsers backup data and want to restore it to Opera then, convert that file to make it compatible with opera from this option.After successful conversion you can easily restore it into desire browser.
What I like about this tool:
1. Pretty good interface with easy navigation.
2. Choice to select backup list & profile.
3. Choice to select restore list & profile.
4. Light weight & portable.

I’ve heard of this application before but I haven’t really tried it yet. I guess I don’t have to because I’m only using Google Chrome as my default browser. Thanks for the share anyway.
