How To Back UP or Restore Google Chrome Profile And Bookmarks


There are two ways to backup google chrome bookmarks and profile.

1st Way  :    You can easily back up your bookmarks and more by syncing them to your Google account. To set up sync, go to Wrench > Options > Personal Stuff > Set up sync. To access your bookmarks on another computer, enable Google Chrome sync on that computer. You can learn more about sync in the article in my references.

you can also export your bookmarks by going to Wrench > Bookmark manager > Organize > Export bookmarks. You can import the resulting html into Chrome and other browsers when necessary.




 2nd Way :   Google chrome has the option to automatically backup your bookmark while saving.you can restore it any time you save the backup file another location.you can find the backup file 

[For XP Users] C:\Documents and Settings\<your name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

[For Windows 7 UsersC:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

[For Windows Vista Users]  C:\Users\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

  • After reaching the folder you will find two files "bookmarks" and  "bookmarks.bak".
  • Right-click the Bookmarks.bak file and paste it on any other folder of your choice.
  • Now, remove the ".bak" extension from the file name of your orginal file locaton(not the location where you paste)
  • Done! You have just recovered all your  bookmarks.
