MozBackup v1.4.1

Interesting, I have tried MozBackup v1.4 Final from back in January of
this year. Either I set it up wrong or it was farked. When it ran, I
never could find any output. Mebbe I shoulda RTFM, eh?

Anyhow, TY for the heads up. I've grabbed a new copy and will check it
out.

I used to have this on my system, but I find that a simple batch file
does the job just as good.

John, I think that's a great way of doing it. However, I don't write
batch files. How about posting yours so that we might utilize your
knowledge.

Thanks Jim C

Well, it's nothing fancy and the location of the files on your system
will be different from mine most likely (I'm using Millennium Edition)
but (and it's all one line):

_________________________________

xcopy /e /y "C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(user
profile name).default" "C:\Backup\Firefox\(user profile name).default"

_________________________________

where the "user profile name" is different for each system. Compose it
in Notepad and then save the file with a name something like "Backup
Firefox user files.bat" to a location of your choice on your hard drive,
then right click on it and create a shortcut that you can place
somewhere in your start menu or on your desktop. Personally, I always
just double click on the batch file itself. You can also right click on
the batch file name, select "Properties" and configure it to run
minimized on the task bar, to close after running, etc.

This saves your profile, which includes your saved email, bookmarks and
cookies. Personally though, I use another batch file to overwrite my
cookie file with a saved backup that only contains the cookies I need. I
run that batch file immediately after I turn off Firefox.
