how to perform automatic backup of favorites
our users are working with microsoft edge. the business-account is logged in automatically in the browser and favorites are synched into ms azure.
nevertheless we would like backup our users browser favorites. in the old-IE-days we could easily grab the favorites-folder in the user-profile...
is there a supported solution to properly backup automatically the edge favorites from our AD-users? (for example with a powershell script?)
as far as we know, there is no possibility to view, manage or backup the favorites in the ms-azure-cloud....

Sandro_GMLU Hello! Just to confirm, do you have a Bookmarks or Bookmarks.bak file at this location?
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default(Note: This applies to MS Edge Stable Channel. If using other Channels the folder would be a little different Edge SxS for Canary, Edge Dev or Edge Beta)Thanks!-KellyKelly_Y yes, there is a bookmark-file.
we have set an alternate path in de localappdata-profile (with a GPO). and at this location is the bookmark-file with the users favorites.
