<![CDATA[What do I backup in appdata for windows?]]>I want to backup Opera data like I used to in the old days. But the Opera Stable folder is 300 MB in size which seems tooo large. I only want the relevant stuff.
What folders need to be saved?

Doh. My bad.
I see that passwords cannot be moved to another machine. Too bad.
This can be closed. Thanks for the help.

What are you seeing there?

Are you looking at the correct path, or are you speculating..

Maybe you are looking at the cache? Check menu > Help > About Opera for the path to the profile folder, maybe yours is somewhere else.

None of the files listed in that link show up in my appdata.. Are you on windows? If you are then tell me where you found your links, passwords, etc. There are about 35 different folders under appdata, none of which are in that help list.
