The software easily backups your Firefox and Thunderbird profiles

BackupFox is a straightforward program which focuses on creating backups for user profiles found in Firefox and Thunderbird. It does not require installation and comprises a few simple functions, making the tool ideal for novice users who want to make a copy of important data.

Since this is a portable app, you can drop the files to any location on the hard drive and run the executable immediately.

There's also the possibility of moving BackupFox to a USB flash disk or other similar device, in order to run it on any workstation with minimum effort.

What should be mentioned is that the Windows Registry area does not get entry updates, and files do not remain on the hard disk after removing the app.

The interface of the app is based on a wizard-like layout, where a task is carried out in no time. All you have to do is select a profile and specify the target directory, in order to create a backup. Plus, you can exclude cache from the process. Restoring a saved profile is seamlessly done with the simple click of a button.

BackupFox barely uses CPU and system memory, hence it doesn't burden the computer's activity. It has a good response time and finishes a task rapidly and without errors. We have not encountered any problems throughout our evaluation. Although it has not been updated for a very long time, BackupFox provides a simple solution to backing up user profiles in Firefox and Thunderbird.
