How to Import Favorites to DVD

"How to import Favorites to DVD?" is the question asked by those who want to be able to restore their Favorites at any moment, if the browser is to be reinstalled on their computers. There are some ways for it.

You can Import Favorites manually:

• For Internet Explorer, import the following folder to DVD: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Favorites
• For Mozilla Firefox, find the Firefox Favorites folder in your computer. The path may look like C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\tb2rkmwr.default\bookmarkbackups.
• Copy the file to DVD.

Manual way is free of charge, but it has its flaws. First, you have to know where the Favorites are stored on your computer. Second, if you want to perform backup regularly, you have to do the same manual operation every time, which may seem rather boring.

You can Import Favorites to DVD automatically with Handy Backup:

With automated backup, you need only not to forget to timely insert DVD into your computer. All other operations will be performed by a special utility according to your settings. A good example of such software is Handy Backup. Download Handy Backup

When the Wizard asks you where to import the data, select the backup to DVD option.

To import Favorites to DVD, insert a disk into your DVD-rom, and your Favorites will be imported to the disk in the scheduled time. If something happens to your computer so that you need to reinstall the browser, just insert the DVD and restore your Favorites.
