It looks like my google bookmarks is gone. I can't explain how it
happened, I don't think I installed anything new on my computer. Can
you please let me know if google stores a backup and that I can
restore them?
Join the club! I have had no issue with Google bookmarks for several
years no until tonight. I log into Google and the bookmarks are all
gone. What is perplexing is if I log into google with IE and click on
the bookmarks button on the v5 toolbar...all my old bookmarks are
displayed. If I go to manage bookmarks....they are gone. I'm hoping
it is some system glith.

Same! But I found a solution to save them, at least. I think you
probably need Adobe Acrobat Pro. I logged, as you suggested, with IE
and clicked on the Bookmarks button using the latest Beta version of
the Googlebar, and my bookmarks were all there (but together with my
labels in the Notebook, which I didn't use to see there). So I clicked
on "Manage my bookmarks" which opened My Notebook. The bookmarks were
again all there (as they used to be) in the "Unfiled bookmarks"
folder. I right-clicked on the name of the folder and selected
"Convert to Adobe PDF." This generated a PDF document, from which I
could actually access the links. Without Adobe, you might also choose
Print when you right-click on the folder, or perhaps do Select All,
Copy, and Paste.
Hope the Google people will fix the problem, however!

Not sure if this is intentional (i.e., they are updating something) or
if there is a problem, but there is definitely something going on with
bookmarks. I believe they are making more of a transition from
bookmarks being a part of web history and more being a part of
notebook.
If I were you, I'd just wait a bit until Google sorts this out. In
the meantime, you may find your bookmarks here:

It's good to know that I'm not alone.
I tried going to internet explorer, downloaded the toolbar there
(cause I never had to use google toolbar on ie before). And found my
bookmark still empty.
When I went to www.google.com/bookmarks, it's also empty.
I noticed though that all bookmark labels are listed on the left
frame.
I really hope this is a glitch.
Thanks for the tip about accessing it from notebook.
Although it's not ordered nicely, at least it shows a complete list.

Just wanted to add "Me too!" to this...AND a big Thank You for the
instructions to look at my Google Notebook!
My bookmarks are also gone from my Google toolbar, but I was able to
get to them via the notebook. I do hope they will return to the
toolbar, and I've worried now - can I backup this information?
Thoughts on that, anyone??
There are others; just search for "google bookmarks" and sort by
date. There are even spammers trying to take advantage of the surge
in searches for bookmark-related keywords. Wow...
Looks like it's a glitch similar to what happened December 2006:
