I’m making backups and one of the things I’m backing up is my website bookmark lists. One of the browsers I use is Google Chrome and I can’t see an easy way to make a bookmark backup.

Any advice?

If you have a Google account, you can setup Chrome to sync bookmarks (and other stuff) to your account. Or you can find and backup the bookmarks file on your hard drive - the path will vary depending on your OS; for example, in Vista it’s: c:\users\username\appdata\local\google\chrome\user data\default\

I’ve got XP. But I dug around and I found the file.
