Guide Review - MozBackup 1.4.7 - Mozilla Thunderbird Backup Tool
If you use Mozilla Firefox to browse the web and Mozilla Thunderbird read news, write and archive mail, store your passwords as well as your contacts, a whole lot of your life is stored in the Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird profiles.
To back up all this vital data for a case of emergency, you just have to copy your profiles' directories to a backup location. Or you take the much faster, more comfortable and flexible route and use MozBackup.
You can define flexibly which parts of your profile you want to include (even extensions are supported) in MozBackup, the resulting backup is just one file, and restoring from the backup is easy.
Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to schedule regular backups with MozBackup.
