Is there any backup system at all??

@blackbird71 i already heard that, and honestly my point is about other thing >>
do you consider such "old - new" files system as logical?! it seems only thing people see in my post is angry reaction, while i tried to describe how stupid the current system is = so Opera kinda has a backup, then smt happens, user starts and sees everything is empty, Opera itself doesn't say a word what happened = next there is only one way to possibly save data - close browser and go search for possibly safe "old" files. but most user may panic, just like me, and eventually start Opera again, where stupid algorithm takes place and overwrites "old"/filed files with "new"/empty, which is not even stupid, it's like no logic at all!!if i may, i'd propose to involve some checking for when drastic changes in files sizes happen. which involves
- Opera definitely states on start-up that there was a crash
- important files aren't overwritten with new-empty files in a dumb "nothing strange here"-way
- = all these can be achieved by simply saving hash of most important files and comparing them on start/close to determine such situations.

Sucks that this happened to you. Although I always use the "continue from last time" option, I wouldn't *rely* on it in any browser. There are too many ways sessions get messed up.
As a workaround, what I'd do is create a bookmarks folder named "Important Tabs". Then, any tab you want to protect so-to-speak, just click the heart in the address field and add it to that bookmarks folder. Then, if you lose all tabs, you can just right-click on "Important Tabs" and choose "open all in new tabs" to restore them. Even if you only lose a few of the tabs for some reason, you can right-click to close all tabs and then open all for the folder.

that's what i was using whole time. thanks for a tip, not how i used to work but will try.
still i think idea with hash control sums on start/close of browser is good, if only devs could see that. -

I don't know if this will help you, but I use Hekasoft Backup.
Agreed... it's highly reliable, easy to run, and only takes up 2.5 Mb of disk space as a portable install. I've use it for some time as one of my layered data/settings backup tools for each of my browsers and eMail client. The only drawbacks I've found are that it's a manual (rather than automatic) backup mechanism and that the application program being backed up must be turned off during backup/restore.

thanks for a link @browzer1 , but @blackbird71 mentioned real flaws of that app: manual (rather than automatic) backup mechanism and that the application program being backed up must be turned off during backup/restore.
found the reason of my problem, it's a bug. will continue in new thread. -

Have you fscked your local propeller head today?
