How can I make a backup copy of my Internet Explorer bookmarks?

Making a backup of your Internet Explorer 9 bookmarks or "Favorites" (sic) is very important, especially should you need to use the N:Drive repair utility [Restore IT Services IE Links]. Fortunately, doing this is relatively quick and painless.

With Internet Explorer 9 open

• Click the star icon to access the Favorites menu, the click the down arrow next to the Add to Favorites button to expand the Favorites menu. Click Import and Export.

• In the Import/Export Settings dialog box, click Export to a file, and then click Next
• Select the Favorites check box, and then click Next
• Select the folder from which you would like to save the bookmarks (or just choose Favorites to export all of them) and then click Next
• Select the folder into which you would like to save your Favorites. By default, Internet Explorer exports to a file called bookmark.htm in your Documents folder - click Next to accept the default
• click Export
• Click Finish

Restoring your bookmarks from this backup file is a very similar procedure; the only major difference being that in step 2. above you should select Import from a file.
