How to restore old state of Speed Dials?

I accidentally wiped all of my Speed Dials when changing something in Xmarks bookmarks sync extension.
Does Opera keep some form of bookmarks backup by itself which I can use?
If not, what file do I need to restore from my old manual backup for this?Opera sync for bookmarks was disabled so that won't do anything for me.

Try the bookmarks ones.
Doesn't wok.
First, I tried to restore Bookmarks.bak file - removed Bookmarks and renamed Bookmarks.bak to Bookmarks - nothing happened, maybe it was overwritten too.Next, I tried my old profile.
I confirmed that my old profile does still have bookmarks by launching it in a different copy of Opera.
Then I transferred Bookmarks and Bookmarks.bak from old profile to new one - nothing happens, still zero Speed Dials on new Opera I am using currently.My conclusion - Bookmarks file does not hold Speed Dials.

It does if its a recent version of Opera. If you are running an old version its different.

Which version of Opera are you using?
As said, Speed Dial is part of bookmarks since a while ago so if you are using the latest version then they should be in the bookmarks file.
If you open the bookmarks file in a text editor and look for "speeddial" you shoudl find something like
"speedDial": {and your speed dials will be under it. -

Is there any way to restore the whole 'speeddial' folder instead of just one (bookmark) by one?
Restore from....?
'other speed dials' in Bookmarks, the whole folder.
Just got a new laptop, and wondering if I'll gotta move them one by one, or can I sync or move the whole folder to the 'speed dial' page? -
