What files are important for backup?
-
Hi. I want automate backup of Vivaldi user settings and content, but whole folder \AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\ is big and contains tons of not necessary caches and etc. What files are really important for user settings of browser, notes, bookmarks, window and bars settings, passwords (no wand.dat ), extensions and ext. settings? Against Opera 12 is Vvaldi user profile folder little bit a mess Thank you for your suggestions!

Generally, the User Data/Default file.

Thanks I hope in some specific files, but whole folder is also solution. Some non-essential folders and files must be logically excluded from backup. So I backup only these and if someone know about something what I ignored or is unnecessary backup let me know
Folders with it's content:
- Extension Rules
- Extension State
- Extensions
- File System
- GCM Store
- Local App Settings
- Local Extension Settings
- Service Worker
- Session Storage
- Sessions
- Sync Extension Settings
- Web Applications
Files:
- Bookmarks
- Bookmarks.bak
- Current Session
- Current Tabs
- Last Session
- Last Tabs
- Login Data
- Login Data-journal
- Notes
- Notes.bak
- Preferences
- Secure Preferences
("History" files is not necessary for me)
BTW is somewehere some basic documentation about what every profile file and folder contains and what for?

Thank you very much for your contribution and info! It will be very helpful, I make a little changes in my backuping.
But I still hope and looking for syncing with server ála Opera Link with little bit more features

Wow. That is really safe but also a little HUGE problem. If I must reinstall, upgrade Windows (7 > 10) or change user account in Windows I lost my saved passwords in Vivaldi because in new installations I cannot restore them? I probably misunderstood.

Oh my god, that is really wonderful… Thank you for info, I will backup passwords as soon as possible.
