Opera Backup Professional

Migrating data from one computer to another can be a tedious process, so it's advisable to create backups for your favorite applications as often as possible. This way, you can make the transition a bit faster and ensure that all your data is safely moved to the new location.

Since Internet browsers are probably some of the (if not the most) utilized programs on our computers, making a copy of their data is paramount. In case you are an Opera user, there are some dedicated tools that can help you with the necessary data export process.

One of those utilities goes by the name of Opera Backup Professional and aims to provide all the necessary functions for a hassle-free transfer of your personalized settings to another instance of the browser. This software program doesn't require installation (besides .NET Framework and Opera) and as soon as it is deployed, it will try and detect the installation folder of Opera onto your system.

In some cases, like those of portable or 64-bit editions of the web browser, the program may fail to identify the location. Nonetheless, you have the possibility to manually navigate to the installation directory to get everything up and running.

After the detection is complete, you can make the necessary selections for profile and mail settings that you wish to keep. The last step before starting the operation is to choose the output location of the backup file. There's also a restore option available, in case you want to revert Opera settings.

Overall, Opera Backup Professional manages to do a very good job, especially since it can also be used to restore the saved configurations. It's free to use. The tool carried out backup and restore jobs quickly in our tests while remaining light on system resources consumption.
