Accessing bookmarks on new computer

A Former User

Hi everyone. I've used Opera as my main browser for years. I've a PC with Windows 7 but am about to buy a new PC with Windows 10, and want to have my bookmarks available when I use a new PC. I've exported my bookmarks to an HTML file, and do I have to manually place them in Opera or is there an easier way?

@jo15d , you can import the HTML file just fine. Go to the Menu/Bookmarks/Import bookmarks and settings

"import bookmarks and settings" under basic settings should allow you to import from any folder or attached device.

You could copy your entire profile also, if you wish, to a usb stick. The location is listed under about opera, paths, profile. But that is a manual process only.

@jo15d if ya wanna backup more than just bookmarks.. this may depend on what version of Robocopy ya got on win 7 - works great on win 8.1 & win 10..

Here is sum scripts i wrote with the Robocopy command to Backup your Opera Default Local & Roaming Data

Note - This will copy the Original Creation Dates of Files & Folders !
allows single file names and or spaces for longer names!.. And Wildcards (.) !

Copy and paste it to notepad. Save as - Opera Local & Roaming Data Backup.bat

Seperate commands on notepads if ya only wanna backup one @ a time..

Example - For Backing up Local & Roaming Directory @ the same time..

robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable" "C:\TEMP\Operan Local Backup"
robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable" "C:\TEMP\Opera Roaming Backup"

Example For Restore..

robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\TEMP\Opera Local Backup" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable"
robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\TEMP\Opera Roaming Backup" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Opera Stable"

And or like this
Example - For Backup

robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\Users\useer name\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable" "C:\TEMP\Opera Local Backup"
robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\Users\useer name\AppData\Roamig\Opera Software\Opera Stable" "C:\TEMP\Opera Roaming Backup"

Example - For Restore

robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\TEMP\Opera Local Backup" "C:\Users\useer name\AppData\Local\Opera Software\Opera Stable"
robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\TEMP\Opera Roaming Backup" "C:\Users\useer name\AppData\Roamig\Opera Software\Opera Stable"

For Backing up your Opera Portable - Lets say just your Profile Data..
Copy and paste it to notepad. Save as - Opera Portable Profile Restore.bat

Example - For Portable Profile Backup..

robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\zz (x86)\Apps\Browsers\Opera\profile" "C:\TEMP\Opera Portable Profile Backup\profile"

Example - For Portable Profile Restore..

robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT "C:\TEMP\Opera Portable Profile Backup\profile" "C:\zz (x86)\Apps\Browsers\Opera\profile"

Here is a couple more..

Example - For Backup..

@echo off
:: variables
set backupcmd=robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT
%backupcmd% "C:\Temp\Test 1" "C:\Temp\Test 2"
echo Backup Complete!
@pause

Example For Restore..

@echo off
:: variables
set backupcmd=robocopy /E /copy:DAT /dcopy:DAT
%backupcmd% "C:\Temp\Test 2" "C:\Temp\Test 1"
echo Backup Complete!
