Backup a Bookmark List

Previous  Next

Bookmark Buddy automatically maintains three backup copies of your bookmark lists. They are saved in the same folder as the original bookmark list and are named:

Autobackup of [bookmark list file name]
This is renewed if it is over 1 hour old when the bookmark list is saved.
Autobackup (older) of [bookmark list file name]
This is renewed if it is over 1 day old when the first autobackup is renewed. It is always at least 1 hour old.
Autobackup (oldest) of [bookmark list file name]
This is renewed when the ‘older’ autobackup is renewed. It is always at least 1 day old.

To check the file path (location and name) of a bookmark list, see the Bookmark Lists Preferences.

Restore a backup

If Bookmark Buddy reports that your bookmark list is corrupted or you realize that you have accidentally made changes you didn’t mean to make:

1.Do not exit Bookmark Buddy. (This ensures that your autobackup copies are not renewed.)
2.From the File menu, select Revert.
3.Select the backup stage you wish to restore.
