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?

@Kelly_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.

@Sandro_GMLU A user in the Tech Community actually posted some information about what they implemented in their organization. Maybe this can help!

thanks, i already knew this script from gunnar. but unfortunately it was designed for edge beta V79. and i tried to use it with the actual version (V87). but there are a few missmatches during a test-recovery (icons in favorites-bar not visible etc.)
