BackupFox 0.6


Recommended Posts

Great work like it alot. Suggestion though, might want to exclude extensions. When updating or installing a new version sometimes you have to delete the extension folder cuase firefox and tbird wont start. Look in the mozilla forums you will see what I mean it comes up a good bit. Have you told anyone from the mozilla forums yet about cuase I am sure they would like to know there is a another program to backup firefox and thunderbird. Most replies for backup programs is there is only one and its discontinued.

I've just joined this forum. The software seems great but unable to make it work on my pc. I use xp home & tries 0.73 & 0.72. I download it, extract it to a new folder, works fine but created a backup file of 22 bytes !!! Created a new profile, then it created a backup file on 3xx KBs. I tried a backup on thunderbird too but same result.

And please what is that admin thing people are talking about?

Thanks for helping

Okay, please check this: C:\Documents ad Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini

(replace USERNAME with your own) Does this file exists? If yes, do you mind posting its contents?

Yes the file exist, and for profile0, the Name is the same as my profile folder name.

Maybe I should have told you earlier that my profile folder is not at it's default location: I created a folder in E: and i've always been using it as my profile folder (and I encountered no problem with it)

And no problem I can send you it's content or the file (but where) if you want

Thank you

I've tried to use the program to transfer all my settings from my laptop to my home pc. I've never been able to recreate the tab-settings from my laptop on another installation of Firefox, so copying it would be very nice.

Unfortunatly, it isn't working, but maybe I'm doing something wrong:

- I've installed Firefox 1.0.2. on my home pc, same version as on my laptop, everything in default locations

- Created a backup of my laptop with backupfox 073

- Loaded the backup onto my home pc

- and then nothing, just a blank screen with, unclickable, TNR letters. I've attached a screenshot.

Raptor: what can I do?

Thnx.

Ah... thats what I thought. BackupFox needs profiles to be in the default location. I'll add support for absolute profile paths in a future version.

Ok thanks.

I tried the software with default location profile folder, worked fine and it has that thing I was looking for and which was missing in Mozbackup: backup &restore of chrome.rdf

Also, I noticed that the restored profile will only work correctly if the bckup file is restored in the same profile folder it was backuped from. Please confirm me it is normal (is that due to the entries in chrome.rdf?)

I think all these problems would not exist anymore with FF 1.1 as (I heard it somewhere) profiles will work with any profile folder even if it is moved etc. Can someone confirm?

Thanks

i have my profile at the default location and it only creates a file of 1k

Profile folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\Daeron Tin?viel\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

The profiles.ini exists:

[General]

StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]

Name=default

IsRelative=0

Path=C:\Documents and Settings\Daeron Tin?viel\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

Default=1

any ideas?

with thunderbird happens the same thing

Sid the Kid: Yes, due to enties in some files within the profile, it has to retain directory structure. I cannot confirm the Firefox 1.1 question though (If its true, then it's good news for everyone).

Daeron Tin?viel>: Your profile uses absolute path, not relative. BackupFox only works with default profile path (relative to Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox and equal to Profiles\profilename).

As you can see, you don't:

IsRelative=0

Path=C:\Documents and Settings\Daeron Tin?viel\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

#1: Your path isnot> relative

#2: Your path isnot> equal to Profiles\profilename

For example, mine:

IsRelative=1
Path=Profiles/iwm374pl.default

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
