How to backup your Google Chrome profile

Google Chrome Profile Backup
One of the nice things about the Google Chrome web browser is that all you need to do to backup your profile information is locate the folder where your user data is located and copy the data.

You can later choose between profiles by launching Google Chrome Backup and selecting your profile from the application.
