How can I back up and restore Chrome in Ubuntu?

  • 772

I back up Chrome in Windows with Google Chrome Backup, which saves a file in .gcb format.

How could I restore it in Ubuntu 11.10 ?

In other words, how could I back up and restore Chrome in Ubuntu?

google-chrome backup

  1. One possible way to do this would be to set up Google Sign in with Chrome, this will then sync your settings inbetween your windows and ubuntu computers.

  2. Some settings are saved in a folder that is

    /home/your_user_name/.config/google-chrome

    Restoring that folder after a partial crash restored my chrome settings (bookmarks, passwords) to me. So backing up the folder should work.

  3. The question was edited several times, with the final result that this answer does no more answer the present question (the original was about a Windows-specific software), so please stop downvoting it.

    You can't.

    As you can see that is not an official tool made from Google and, more important, it is only for Windows. So you can restore a backup done with it only on Windows (with the same program I think).

    Use official guides to backup your works and understand softwares, not just some_junks_made_by_unknown_people_that_promise_to_be_the_BEST_solution.
