Protect Your Precious Data - Backup More Than You Sync

Google Chrome provide syncing which help user to sync data like Apps, Autofill, Bookmarks, Extensions, Preferences & Themes which help users to retrieve their data wherever they travel. This is is very helpful too.
Come one step ahead, you can backup more than you sync. What will happen if you need to format your PC if you were not ready for that ?
Here is the solution. This helps when you are switching between channels, any system failure or similar problems. This process can even store your Cache, Extentions, Top Sites, History, Last session and even more. For this you will only need any external storage device, this may be your pen drive, cellphone, CDs, or any online storage. All you need to do is make a copy of the User Data\Default directory (for example, copy it to 'Default Backup' in the same location). The location depends on your operating system :

• Windows XP: (DRIVE NAME)\Documents and Setting\^Username\Local Setting\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\ Default
• Windows Vista or 7: (DRIVE NAME)\Users\^Username\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
• Mac OS X : ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default
• Linux: ~.config/google-chrome/Default

 You need to set Show hidden files and folders in Tools > Folder Options... > View. before you go to that location in your explorer. Once you went to that location then copy all that files present there, then after copy it to your desired location other than that PC/Machine. If next time you format your PC , be worry free, again go location above and paste those files, resume where you left !!
