Many webmasters and tech savvy Internet users do not only have one but multiple web browsers installed. They use the web browsers either for testing purposes, curiosity or because some sites open better (or at all) in specific web browsers. With multiple computer software programs comes the need for some users to backup the programs and data occasionally which has been a big mess until now because there was not one tool to backup all of the popular web browsers at once.
Mail Browser Backup tries to change that by introducing a computer software program for the Windows operating system that can – in its current version – backup Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and the Chrome clone SRWare Iron. It can also create backups for the email client Mozilla Thunderbird and the ftp software Filezilla. The list is incomplete and the software developer has already announced that the next version of the backup software will include Internet Explorer backups as well as backups for the Opera and Safari web browsers, the email clients Windows Mail and Incredimail plus eMule.
The backup itself could not be more straightforward. The portable application displays all supported computer software programs in a list. Grayed out items are currently not supported. Each entry can be selected by clicking in the checkbox next to it. Options are to either backup or restore the selected programs.
The program will open a file browser that can be used to select a directory for the backup or to select a previously created backup for the restoration process. Mail Browser Backup requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 or above and will run on Windows XP or Windows Vista. The source code of the application is provided by the software developer on his homepage.

I feel good with my own custom batch script(.bat) file scheduled to run at every day morning 3.00 AM to manage my E-Mail backup.
Having just moved from an old XP machine to a Vista Home Premium I can attest to the backup and restore abilities of mozback (http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/). Works with browser and mail client. I now use the program to backup and restore cookies and other settings. Works well.
How very Windows centric! Considering that many of the products you seek to back up are multi-platform how about multi-platform backup solutions too? It may be possible to run MailBrowserBackup on Linux using WINE/MONO, I haven’t tried it as yet.
Also…how about pointing out that there are other Mozilla based browsers out there who could be added to the list if MBB would support them…I’m thinking of K-Meleon and Orca to name just two.
