As I stated in the first review of Google Chrome Backup it came in 2 versions. Free and a paid version with bonus features. This post will center around the bonus features.

First off the Bonus Features version will cost you $5.08 USD. (also in 3.49 € & £3.06). Compared to many other products I’ve seen that price is really reasonable.

The first of the bonus features are enhanced bookmarks support that allow you to export them to html or csv as a backup. You can also copy your bookmarks to Google Bookmarks. One of the more important bonus features are that you can lock/unlock your profile to deny access too it but that’s not all…  more features will be added over time free of charge to paid customers.

The price is well worth it if those features appeal to you and I look forward to future added features.

I was annoyed how Chrome stores the profile in a non standard location making backing it up hard. I did some research and found Google Chrome Backup from Parhelia Tools.

The application has a simple UI but packs lots of features. For those who want a easy way to backup/restore their profile there  is a wizard mode to make it easy. You can also manage multiple profiles using the same tool including adding extra command line parameters. The backup routine is fully customizable you can set the compression rate, protect with a password.

The program comes in 2 versions… a free one and one with unlocked features such as bookmarks export to html and csv, upload your bookmarks to google bookmarks service, and you can also password protect your profile. The great part is the developer has set the price at a reasonable of $5.08 USD. (also in 3.49 € & £3.06).

I use this great app to backup/restore my chrome setup that I use for web testing.
