Although the free tool ‘Opera Launcher’ primarily serves the purpose of a couple of additional settings on starting the browser, it is very useful for automatically backing up data.
- To download, type the complete download address in the browser: ‘http://my.opera.com/Tamil/homes/Softwares/%20OperaLauncher.zip’.
- On the page, click ‘Download File’ and select a suitable memory location in the dialog.
- The ZIP-Archive can be extracted and copied from the file ‘OperaLauncher.exe’ in the program folder of Opera.
- The tool brings up the configuration window when you start it for the first time.
- Keep the backup options activated and change the intervals if required between the data backups.
- Otherwise, you can define a relevant key combination with the option ‘Enable keystrokes’ and which will be automatically run with the Opera-Start.
- For example, switch on the full screen mode by pressing ‘{F11}’.
- In case of special keys, use the character ‘^’ for [Ctrl], ‘!’ for [Alt] and ‘+’ for [Shift].
- Confirm the settings with ‘OK’. In the future, you can choose to start Opera through this tool as it accomplishes all determined tasks in the background automatically.
- For a data backup, you will find the relevant files in Windows Explorer in the profile folder of Opera.
- For that, enter ‘%AppData%’ in the address row, press Enter and navigate further to the sub folder ‘Opera\ Opera\profi le\backups’.
- Search for the desired files ‘opera6.adr’ and ‘notes.adr’ with the suitable date identifications in the name and copy this to the profile folder.
- There, change the name in ‘opera6.adr’ and ‘notes.adr’ respectively.
- If you don’t find it, you can create it yourself.
- Right click on the empty white space in the folder and create a new text document.
- Rename it to ‘notes.adr’ or ‘opera6.adr’ in case you don’t find these files.
