But the last version of that was in 2011. As the author states on his page:
"MozBackup is not being developed anymore. There are known issues and
there is no time on my side to fix all issues and develop new features.
Use MozBackup only on your risk. Thanks for understanding. Source code
is available on GitHub <https://github.com/JasnaPaka/mozbackup>."
Can anyone verify that it still works properly with SM/FF?
I've done backups and recoveries with Seamonkey, although that was
several years ago, and I'm now to the point where there's been enough
development since the last release that I think there's growing danger
in trusting it. Even though I'm enthusiastic about the concept of
MozBackup (both the ability of selective content backups and restores,
as well as making it easier for non-technical users by not having to
depths of Windows user profile), I'm now discouraging use.
Because Thunderbird and Seamonkey are trailing-edge products, relative
to Firefox development, I'm inclined to believe that it's more likely to
see problems with Firefox. However, TB 52.0 is more likely to have
issues than TB 45.x (or 38.x) and Seamonkey 2.46 or later more than
2.40, or earlier versions.
I think the only way I would trust MozBackup in Seamonkey is by regular
testing of it by restoring a backup to a test profile, and then
thoroughly exercising that profile, to ensure that everything works. Do
this long before you need to do a backup recovery, and redo that
exercise every time you upgrade to a new version of Seamonkey.
