Back Up Your Favourites

This is a relatively simple operation and invaluable if anything goes wrong. To back up your favourites using Internet Explorer, go to File > Import and Export. The Import/Export wizard will open and all you need to do is follow the instructions and Export a back up of your favourites to another location on your hard drive or even better, to a second hard drive. The exported folder can also be saved to disk. You can import your favourites into Internet Explorer in the same way.

Nellie, thank you … I just exported to my new notebook!

Good idea…backups are a computer's best friend.

That tip would be good for using this program:

As it can delete the Favorites and Cookies if the user is not careful. *;-)

But a darn good program. I saw Hansie was recommending it and I took a look. Pretty cool freeware.

carp**, I just lost all my favorits 1 week ago.

Thanks for the great tip nellie2. I saw this thread a few months ago and I have been exporting my favourites regularly since then

It's great that people are still reading this post after all this time, and thanks for the feedback!

is there a way to do this on firefox? for some reason sometimes my favourites and history just disapears

For Firefox:

Click Bookmarks at the top of the screen and select Manage Bookmarks… to open the Bookmarks Manager. Now, select File and choose Export… then choose a location to save them.
