Creates backups and restores profiles of the Google Chrome browser
Google Chrome backup is a small tool to create, backup, restore and manage Google Chrome profiles. The profile holds personal data like history, bookmarks, etc. Everything is done with one click. Latest version also supports Chromium, which modified version of Google Chrome, for portable use.
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.
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.
