Anders Rask It's even worse when you get a new computer and have to rebuild them all again!
I too also have multiple profiles (20+) for the clients I work for. First thing I do is turn off password save (as I have Lastpass), set save location, add standard shortcuts to the shortcut bar, rename the profile, add a favicon (although to be honest I don't really care about the favicon although it would be awesome if I could specify a favicon url rather than be stuck with the built in icons, but thats another issue).

Andy Helsby We have just (today actually) migrated all our users to a new domain.
We used this module https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/EdgeBackupandRestore

Anders Rask I downloaded and installed https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/EdgeBackupandRestore - but now what? There's no app or program to run that I can see, just a new module in Powershell with some data files - no .exe file to run.

sts_66 yes, it is a PowerShell script.
If you are new to PowerShell, you can check out this link Introduction to PowerShell - Learn | Microsoft Docs
Also the documentation isn't really stellar, but the idea is that you import the module EdgeBackupandRestore
Import-Module EdgeBackupandRestore.psm1
The module contains two functions
Backup-EdgeProfile and Restore-EdgeProfile
You should be able to figure out the syntax by using help:
Get-Help Backup-EdgeProfile -example
