Create your own custom module
With Hekasoft Backup & Restore, saving your data has never been easier.
Thanks to the modules creation feature, you can create modules to backup and restore any software and any folder with just a few clicks.
The created modules use shortcuts to system folders, making it possible to share the module with other users and operating systems.
Migrate your profile folder
Migrating your browser settings from one browser to another is incredibly easy with Hekasoft Backup & Restore. When you choose to change your browser, you can effortlessly transfer all the settings from your old browser. Currently, you can only migrate your profile between browsers based on the same engine. This means you can easily migrate between Firefox, Pale Moon, and Waterfox, or between Chrome, Edge, and Brave.
Optimize your browsers
Using your software often generates temporary or backup files that aren’t always removed automatically. Hekasoft Backup & Restore helps clean up these backups, caches, logs, and other unnecessary files. The optimization scan identifies only the unnecessary files that do not affect the proper functioning of the software, ensuring it is safe to remove everything found.
Browser Plugin & Addons Scanner
Hekasoft Backup & Restore Plugin Scanner scans your browser for installed plugins and extensions. You can easily remove plugins or export them to another profile or browser.*
*You can export them only to browsers with the same engine (e.g., from Firefox to Waterfox).
With Hekasoft Backup & Restore Plugin Scanner, you can scan extensions of Firefox (and all derived browsers) and Google Chrome (and all derived browsers). Google Chrome’s security features prevent restoring extensions from another Chrome profile, but you can use Hekasoft Backup & Restore to export all the extensions to the desktop and save them in a folder for import into Google Chrome (or derived browsers).
Profile Switcher
With the Profile Switcher you can manage your browser profiles.
With this useful tool you can:
– Change default profile
– Create a new profile
– Clone an existing profile
– Delete a profile
This tool is essential for restoring the Firefox and Thunderbird profiles.
Both Firefox and Thunderbird when you first launch them on a new configuration, will create a new profile, even if you have restored a previous profile.
With this tool you can set your old profile as default, and delete the new profile.
