Backup Email Clients and Web Browsers

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.
