Hi imanshahmiri,

Sorry you are having problems.
Your other device should already be synced !

The service not intended to be used as a backup server, it is intended to enable you so synchronise another device. You may then consider to some extent that the other device is a backup.

If you have recorded your recovery key, and presumably know the email address and password used then you may still sync. From the system info aside you appear to be using Firefox at present. See

In future you may wish to separately and manually backing up your bookmarks and your Firefox Profile, either onto your computer,or somewhere else safe, such as removable media.

  • Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer
  • Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles

I hope the above information is useful. Please post back with how you get on.


Depending on the nature of the failure there may also be a possibility of obtaining information from the crashed drive, especially if it is only a simple OS crash.
