Backup for Mozilla Fx & TB

Post by viking33 »

I asked this same thing in my other thread about blank emails but I'm opening this one to see if I get better response.

I'm looking for a different ( better ) way to back up my emails than using Mozbackup. I'm particularly unhappy with the restore methods that can't seem to find a recent copy of the backup file.
There has to be another program out there that does it better? :scratch: :sad:

You don't actually need anything special to back up your TB profile, just whatever you usually back up with to copy the profile folder elsewhere should do the trick.

I agree with Jon; wouldn't it work with something you already have (not knowing about Mozbackup)?
I don't use TB (but have tried it), but for Fx I use simple archives (ZIP) when doing small, quick, backups (as opposed to a complete image).

I'm with John and Argus. I don't specifically back up my FF and TB profiles as I can access any of these using my ShadowProtect hourly incremental backups.

Thank you, Gentlemen. I'm convinced. Guess I'm always looking for a quick click and excecute way to do things. I'll use my True Image to do it. :thankyou:
