There’s a known browser issue that may lead to corruption of data stored locally by Chrome extensions.

Check for Disk Cleaners

Check whether your device has disk cleaners installed or enabled through your OS. Common tools include Disk Cleanup, CCleaner, and BleachBit. If you use one, review its settings to ensure extension data folders are excluded from cleanup.

Session Buddy’s extension data is stored in the following locations:

<profile path>\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko_0.indexeddb.blob
<profile path>\IndexedDB\chrome-extension_edacconmaakjimmfgnblocblbcdcpbko_0.indexeddb.leveldb

You can find your profile path by visiting chrome://version/ in your browser.

If your disk cleaner does not allow exclusions for individual folders, look for broader categories such as “Browser data” or “IndexedDB” that can be opted out of.

Backup

Through Session Buddy

Session Buddy allows you to manually back up your data from its gear menu. Regular backups are recommended. Having a backup file makes recovery simple using Session Buddy’s Restore feature, also accessible from the gear menu.

System backups

Due to browser security limitations, Session Buddy cannot automate backups. If you prefer an automated solution, ensure you have a system backup in place that includes Session Buddy’s extension data folders. Options include Windows Backup, Windows File History, Time Machine for macOS, or third-party solutions like Acronis.

Looking forward

We’re actively working on a cloud backup feature that will provide an easy alternative to manual backups and system-based solutions for protecting your Session Buddy data.
