Reviews & Comments of Bookmark Backup chrome extension

Whenever I add a new bookmark or delete one: it hangs/slows chrome showing the spinner :( Checking the system process: it consumes so much CPU! Uninstalling it..

Love this app so much thanks for your efforts for this app :)

Works but does not restore favicons. That would complete this great extension.

How to set custom path for backup. I want to backup in another drive so that if my PC crashed I can import all those bookmark again to Brave.

Where does it backup to on the hard drive? I wish to make another copy of it for safekeeping.

This tool just saved me big time. This afternoon I realized that some bug in the system has been deleting bookmarks over the last 2 weeks. Based on the backup report that shows the total number of bookmarks it looks like whatever was deleting them did that work in batches. Using the backup this extension created a couple of weeks back, I was able to restore all of the lost bookmarks. Fantastic!! However, there is some room for improvement which is why the 4 star review. First of all, it is great that this extension automatically makes backups when a bookmark has been added/deleted, but the problem is I don't know where the backups are being stored and so there's no way to get the backups off of the computer in question. It would be great if we could direct the backups to be stored on a specific folder on the computer so that I can make regular offsite copies of that folder and/or to be able to direct the backups to be saved to a folder on a cloud storage system (e.g. Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, etc.). Secondly, it would be great if there was an option to just import backup of the bookmarks instead of only having a restore function that is destructive of existing bookmarks. The reason being is that I had added new bookmarks to my system in between the time that something started deleting bookmarks from my system. So in order to not lose those new ones when I restored the old ones, I had to find/download another extension that would allow me to selectively export just the new bookmarks and then I had to re-import those once I'd done the restore from this tool. If this extension were to give me the option to simply import the backup set of bookmarks and not destroy what's already there, then I can do the merging of the two sets how I want. Addition of those two features would make this 5 stars. Nonetheless, I do have to say thanks for saving me today!

If you could save the location or view default location, this app would be a game changer. Currently doesn't offer that setting.

Seems great but where does it store the html file that contains the bookmarks and is it possible to configure this so that you can select a location on a network drive for example that is itself backed up?

Really nice extension to have. Where are the backfiles getting saved on the disk?

Where exactly can I find my backups?

Very useful.

Life saver!!!! Works great for me! Other extensions mess the bookmarks up and BookMark Backup restore them.

Just found out that it has not made a backup since March the 6th! NOT VERY USEFUL! I will reinstall and monitor this time to see if it continues to make backups. UPDATE: 12/21/19 Yep! It did it again! Used a program called AM Deadlink for editing Chrome bookmarks. After removing all bad ones saved it. Went to Chrome. BAM! ALL 2500+ bookmarks are gone! Went to BOOKMARK BACKUP. It had stopped making backups a month ago. I had to restore a month old one. I lost a months worth of new and corrected bookmarks. THANKS BOOKMARK BACKUP.

Seems to work, would like to be able to choose where to save them.

Does anyone know where the heck I can find these backups on my laptop? I want a backup after an update is made but I can only keep 10 backups,not 30, due to storage constraints and need to delete some of therm.. Please help! I agree with the suggestions made by Vittorio Zamparella, Mark & Lyndon and Tag.

Nice bookmark backup and easy to use and understand! Would be super cool if you could compare two bookmark backups to see what's different (new or deleted) between the two.

It was OK but I need to save it to a folder in My Documents as that is the folder that gets regularly backed up to the cloud and protects me from data loss if my computer crashes.

When it works it's great. It spends more time crashed then working.

Would be awesome to have manual backups too. Also add not only one day but 6 hours, 3 hours, 12 hours etc. too.

works fine

Considering the user need for concerns of a computer crush strike, is it possible to save the backup to user defined location? Like somewhere in the local folder of cloud storage?

Excellent app AND idea... It's a REAL life saver for me!

It crashes all the time. I set it to create unlimited backups and whenever add/delete. It was working briefly then stopped.Last backed up Jan 28. Since then I get a bubble saying it has crashed very time I try to add/remove/edit a bookmark

It's okay but it keeps crashing on me. ???

I sometimes need to delete some bookmarks due to I sometimes need to share screen with my boss on my online job and I don't want him to see my bookmarks for my other clients webpages ??. Works like charm without the complicated interface and process. I LOVE IT!!!

Kinda works but if I set a limit to number of backups, once that number is reached it stops making backups. I will go with unlimited backups and purge the manually (selecting 30) from time to time. Thank you

Simple and does what it says without trying to do a million other things, which is great. However, it crashes everyday and you have to manually restart it. I have thousands of bookmarks, so it may not be properly coded for that. Also, why can't you backup your bookmarks on demand? I have it set to backup up daily, but if I want to backup immediately, I have to wait to the next day.

After the bug fix I love it. It does exactly what I expect it to do. This is a feature that should be native to chrome. No more panic after accidently deleting a whole folder of bookmarks. Thank you for the good work and quick response.
