Automate Edge-Favorites Backup as HTML-File
As there is no Solution provided by Microsoft, I created a Script (as a workaround). I published it here: https://github.com/gunnarhaslinger/Microsoft-Edge-based-on-Chromium-Scripts
Elliot Kirk the Export/Import is not running as a system-restore or system-process, it is an Automated (daily) User-Backup running as automated Process executed in User-Context (typically before User-LogOff). But LocalAppData-Folder is not covered in the User-Backup (AppData\Roaming would be) and LocalAppData is way too big to include. Just the Bookmarks should be included.
Current Solution with old EdgeHTML is the Tool EdgeBackup which exactly does this - it can be executed to export the EdgeHTML Bookmarks to an HTML-File and put this HTML-File in the UserDataBackup of the machine.
If the User needs to restore the Bookmarks (e.g. because of moving to a new Computer) this can be done by the User manually. The HTML-File can be restored in any Browser (EdgeHTML, EdgeChromium, Firefox) we use.
Syncing with cloud is not an option, the Networks the Machines are connected to are air-gapped (no direct Ontenet-Access). Browser is used for Intranet-AccessOnly. And even if there would be Internet-Access, our Policy says users must not use these Cloud-Services.

Do you have a PS script to export bookmarks from Google Chrome? Gunnar-Haslinger
- Vous êtes mon sauveur !
- Thanks for providing this script, helped me a lot to safe the bookmarks of our clients.
Gunnar-Haslinger Many thanks, just tried your script and it works perfrctly and it will save me a great deal of messing around as I am testing Edge-Chrome and as we know favorites arent handled without using microsoft profile cloud sync - I posted another mention of this.
