Bookmark Backups

visser · Post by **visser** » 17 Aug 2008, 01:04

I don't know about you guys, but i know that i very often work on multiple machines and very often do i find good bookmarks with tuts or info that i will need in the future. I want a way to backup thos bookmarks on all the different machines and mash them into one.

take for example Mozilla Firefox. It does allow me to back my stuff up, but to restore from a backup deletes my old backups. how would i combine multiple backups of all of my bookmarks from all of my machines...

i googled bookmark managers but wanted something that i know works because the suck-o community uses it

firefox addons are available that would do the trick

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2365

In firefox 3 i just goto organize bookmarks then import or export them, maybe you can carry a back up of them on a usb thumb drive, im not sure if you try to import another from a diffrent computer if it will cause double of the same bookmark or just ask you if you want to overwrite it with the current bookmark or not. I use the date as the name of the favorites backup, for multi PC's i guess you could use todaysday+a, then +b, +c ect for each PC, firefox 3 i beleive has two formats i think to export and import in ..html being one, maybe a simple script could add the bookmarks together in the html file firefox imports for its use to combine all the others without having duplicates of bookmarks. I also heard of a way to make firefox 2 plugins work with firefox 3 i will need to get more info on it though for you.
something to do with manually installing the plugin instead of just clicking the "install plugin" button in firefox

actually i followed the king of hearts lead on this one. went with some firefox addons.

using mozilla to export or import overwrites the bookmarks all togheter and i couldnt see a way to change between a .html backup and a .jason backup.

so i looked for some addons. came to a lil addon called foxmark. does exactly what i want it to. its good stuff
