Hi Hansifer, Session Buddy is beautiful and helpful!  I use it everyday! so now my mind goes blank as the SB's saved sessions :...[

I looked up previous post, but can't to solve, Because I had turned off the windows system restore before!!!!!  And the SB data file can't be restored previous versions! And I havn't backup that file before.

What should I do now?

Is there other way to restore SB data file? or is chrome have a restore function?

I use Win10 

here is screenshot

HELP PLEASE!!

Unfortunately the only chance of data recovery in this case would be through a system backup, which it sounds like you don't have.

Going forward, you can back up SB data using the manual backup feature:

Thank you for reply

Going forward :...[

Strongly advise add "auto backup feature"

I've had similar problem.. Usually the DB file is corrupted when recovered from backups (I have tried ShadowExplorer and Recuva) - probably because it doesn't have a file extension, so Windows thinks it's compressible ? ... It's impossible to import it in SQLite Browser, so the only way to get out some data is to extract all URLs from that text file. I did this, and since then I'm making backups of DB regularly, also exporting .json backups from the extension GUI.
