      I am on Opera Dev v. 41.0.2329.0 (i,e the latest version) and would like to do a complete backup. I have a few questions:

      1.should I just back up this folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Developer?

      2.if so, if I ever need to use it, can I then just copy/paste this folder when Opera Dev would be newly installed?

      3.if 2. is not the right way to recover, what is the procedure?

      4.If 1. is not what needs to be backed up, what exactly is?

      Many thanks in advance for your help.

        1. Yes, backing up the profile folder should be enough.

        2. Usually, yes.

          1. Remember to sync (or just write down) passwords - these are encrypted by windows and cannot be decrypted on another windows installation.
