Tips

Upgrading browser
If you are using Browser 1.0 (any web browser) and plan to use newer version (Browser 2.0) after you have reinstalled Windows, we suggest you to upgrade it before that (and then do a backup). Why? In some cases, newer browser version might update configuration files during installation, so if you backup Browser 1.0 data and restore it to Browser 2.0, there could be some issues.

Opera profile changes
Fixing “Opera: Moving backups from XP to Vista/7 will require manual changes” (not required since FavBackup 2.0):
1. Locate opera6.ini in your backup folder, open it using your favorite text editor (i.e. notepad)
2. Launch FavBackup > Restore, copy “Your Opera path is” text, go to opera6.ini
Search for: C:\Documents and Settings\userX\Application Data\Opera\Opera
Replace with copied text.
userX – your username in Windows.
