    Yes.. you can import or get it back, from where ever you backed up in the first place.. Syncback is just a backup program which backsup your data from your system to another system / external hdd or so on.. so using this you can get it back again.. you just have to set it up accordingly and change the 'source', 'destination' folders / locations..

    Yes..

    But why don't u just copy / past onto the USB? I mean bookmarks, for example, you just export them from your browsers.. and copy / paste the exported file to the USB?!!
