Google Chrome crashed then I had reset wiping out 5 months of bookmarks and settings
This morning my computer went cuckoo. The scroll bar was going crazy, my cursor was jumping all over, and I opened and closed it a few times but no luck.
Then I went to restart my computer and it asked to update and restart. When it reopened it acted a little strange. I entered my PW and Google Chrome said it needed to reset as an EXTENSION caused an issue. Possibly Skype I clicked OK and expected a simple restart. It restarted, then asked me to sign in, and then asked to SYNC and someone the God Damn thing wiped out ALL my bookmarks even on the bar, all my setting back to scratch and like I never had it. I've searched for a backup file that everyone claims is in a file folder and after 4 hours I cannot find it. I lost between 160-200 Bookmarks from my new company including 60 Linkedin profiles of prospects, 40 research links, 20 competitors, 50 Phoenix based organizations, prospects and other things. My last saved Chrome bookmarks were from June. WHAT A CLUSTER****!!!! I can't even begin to guess how many hours of work I've lost and what it will take to rebuild. God damn sync between my personal and business I think killed it. This signing into the Browser and signing into your email accounts and linking one but not needing to link the other and how they sync is so freakin confusing!!!! I'm besides myself............... |

If you're signing in with a Google account, then your bookmarks are saved on Google's servers, not just the local computer. Take a breath. Sign out. Sign back in and make sure you're using the correct Google account.
Also... there's a forum for this, dope.

Sorry, I don't believe you. Chrome doesn't simply delete bookmarks no matter what. Certainly not from the things you're claiming you did. That just doesn't happen. I know how the program works in most platforms. I'm guessing you just don't understand how to recover it.

From my experiences with Chrome: I'm with fish on this one...
How'd that rodeo go? I guess we won't be seeing this anymore Quote:

The bookmarks were wiped because when I was asked to sign in to Google Chrome my bookmarks were NOT saved on the account I signed in with and it wiped away the ones from GUEST during the sync. I've been in tech since 1996 so I'm no a neophyte.

And yet you still use the browser for bookmarking? Check out Pinboard. It's like del.icio.us with more stuff. You can also get nerdy with it and connect other stuff to it. For example, if I save anything to read later with Pocket, it's also added to Pinboard that makes an archival copy of the page when I do.

It's super easy to export bookmarks and either save them or email the file to yourself.
Also, if the data on your C Drive is of utmost importance, you need to use a program like Paragon Backup & Recovery to clone your System drive and save the image on another drive, so that you can easily re-load it, usually in minutes, if you're using an SSD. |

You don't need to go through too much. Also can save it the Google cloud. Looks like my bookmarks were just local and I wasn't logged into Chrome, just into my two email accounts and they were linked so when I signed into Chrome Browser with my work ID and PW there were no bookmarks and it synced everything to those settings, going back to zero. I re-imported my bookmarks from July but I lost all my new job stuff.
