Here is a list of 3 free backup software for browsers using which you can easily create backup of all the important data of your browser. Generally, we save a lot of passwords, bookmarks, extensions, general settings in our browser without having any real backup for them. If, in case, our Windows or browser crashes and we lose the data, we have to start from the scratch again. These browser backup software can come to your rescue and help you in creating and saving the backup of your browser data. You can create backup for items like cookies, browser history, web data, password & login data, extensions, userStyleSheets, last/current sessions etc.
The 3 free browser backup software that I have reviewed in this article are Heckasoft Backup & Restore, FavBackup, BrowserBackup.

Lastly, the software also has a feature called “Convert”. You can convert your XP Opera profile to Vista/7 and from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, using this feature.

BroswerBackup is another lightweight with features like easily creating backup for different browser profiles and restoring them later on. You can select the browser for which you want to create a backup and then also choose the items that you want to create a backup for. The software supports multiple browsers and you have the option of storing your backup in *.zip/*.7z formats apart from BrowserBackup file format. You can also set the compression rate if you wish to save your backup in zip or 7z format. One key feature of this software is that you can protect your backup with a password. The software allows you to set a password after a backup is created and before you save it on the system.
