    Is there a backup tool which can restore a browser with multiple tabs opened in incognito/private browsing mode? As I understand, system image backup make copy of everything on system disk but I think private browsing leaves very little on disk & most of it is loaded & run directly from ram.

    P.S. I am not looking for browser extensions which can restore the crashed tabs in incognito mode. I already have those but the thing is, such extensions restore only the tabs opened at the time of crash & not previously opened sites in same tabs(like entire browsing history of tabs except in incognito mode).

    Being able to restore anything from incognito mode would invalidate its existence. If it is possible the maker of the browser should be ashamed.

    In vivaldi you can set tabs which can be opened each time in new fresh session and no needs addons
    If you wanna make backup your tabs just use also default option for import/exeport tabs and other settings to file which you can save in other disk/pendrive.

    You can make acc and hold your setting in cloud and sync beetwen few devices.

    :) I thought maybe someone came up with some sort of ram backup as a better alternative to windows hibernation.

    I was looking for something which basically works as windows hibernation which can preserve the browsing history within each incognito tab(incognito tab 1--open site abc--open site xyz--hibernate--turn on pc--incognito tab 1 site xyz--click back button--site abc).

    Than dont use incognito mode, because that what you want to do is inverse of incognito mode.
    As peoples says above.

    Incognito = WIPE / Format DATA
    - Dont hold sesion to next time.
    - Same with cookies
    - also Wipe information stored in fields etc
    - privileges in websites etc

    I have few suggestion / workaround tips for solve your problem:
    Use 2 profile or even better 2 browser: Where 1 will be for bulk/trash surfing and second will be for your serious work / business where you will more care on data
    Use Sandbox/Virtalization solution for separate them between myself & System for better security (software Sandboxie or VMware).

    In first Browser configure to hold session to next run and what hold or not hold.
    So you will be auto loaded your common website which you surf almost always for example for gamer will be Youtube / Twitch meaby also some social website like Facebook / Twitter etc

    Or something kind like hybryd solution when you wanna hold data only from few sites and rest wipe.
    In that you can install few addons ex:
    Cookie autodelete where you can config white and black list which will hold session of websites.
    uBlock/umatrix - Block some scripts
    Decentraleyes for miss tracking or even better install solid VPN like Mullvald or Nord

    If you care about security due of holding your active login in website than use 2FA verification. https://authy.com
    if cookies leaks from your pc somehow hacker will cant able login to your acc bc need use 2nd generated password.
    For secure password you can use stronger 24 charts or longer with special symbol and hold in in KeePass which make almost impossible to break it. https://keepass.info

    2nd browser will be where you do ultra important things like money bank transfer etc where all data will be always wiped / Incognito mode
    You can also try find some hardering faqs in network for debloat browsers and make it more secure.

    I was about to say the same. Not to be mean obviously, but just because it is counterintuitive. If preserving your history is important you need a different solution. The sandbox/virtual machine suggestion is a very good one.

    Yea @xxJackxx i write detailed faq for his situation at last he can yet add something to Keystroke encryption against keylogger.
    For example Light badass solution would be:

    SpyShelter + Sandboxie + VPN
    Where SpyShelter cover his whole system and keystroke encryption screw keylogers / SRP function can limit write/read access.
    Sandboxie = Wipe data (depend on setting) / Isolate new data and changes in current session and prevent infection to next launch.
    VPN becasue disable storage telemetry in your system/disk not mean hold tracking you in websites which you use like your IP etc.
    +/- Hardering browser with default settings and addons which i mention above.
