How to Backup and Restore Favorites in Internet Explorer 8

Hello Friends,

Many of us add the websites to Favorites. These are websites we visit regularly or contain some important information. One reason we add these websites to favorites is because after 2-3 weeks we will not remember the URL so it’s quite easy to just go to Favorites menu and look for them.

But how many of us backup the Favorites? Not many because they assume their computer is never going to crash!

For those who backup important data; below are the steps to backup and restore your favorite websites in Internet Explorer 8.

1. Click on Favorites button on IE8



2. Choose Export if you want to back or choose Import if you want to restore from backup.

3. Choose required fields, e.g. Feeds and Cookies.


4. Choose the folders you want to backup or choose Favorites if you want to backup all favorites.

5. Choose the destination where you want to save the backup file. It will be small html file.

6. Once backup is complete successfully you will get screen like below.


That is it, we are done.

Thanks for reading.
